African Drumming Workshop at Wonderfruit Festival, Thailand.
One of the things I loved about the Wonderfruit festival, was the number of varied workshops, talks and activities they hosted during the day. One of the most popular, was without doubt the "African Drumming Workshop".
THE SHARING SPACE
The sharing space was a great idea. Not only did they offer free food and drinks (for a donation) all weekend, but they offered completely free workshops througout the day. Simply sign up. You can see the list of workshops here.
AFRICAN DRUMMING WORKSHOP
This was clearly one of the more popular workshops. As I used to beat the skins a little when I was younger I thought I would swing by and check it out. Unfortunately for me the time clashed with another workshop I was attending so I didn't get to join but it looked like a lot of fun.
The drumming was being led by Kru Tom (Teacher Tom) who was skillfully increasing and slowing the tempo, and drumming louder and softer, and having the others follow. There were a variety of different types of drums and percussion instruments, some being hit with hands others sticks and others shook. The variety of tones and sounds was really very pleasant to the ear. I applaud the initiative and hope next year I will get to join in the fun. I hope you enjoy my pics, scroll to the bottom of the page for links to other Wonderfruit posts i have made...
