To celebrate International Jazz Day we are offering a free master class with Nucelo Vega. Attendees will work on brush techniques and left foot independence and how to apply those techniques to various musical styles including jazz. In addition to a fun night of drum technique development, everyone will receive a free pair of brushes for completing the workshop!
