Content: Dudu will focus equally on developing your individual technique and playing together as a group. The focus is on classic bateria instruments (caixa / snare, tamborim, surdo, repinque, timbal). The repertoire includes a wide variety of Dudu's own compositions arranged especially for this course content and includes Samba Reggae / Afro-Brazilian elements as well as intros, breaks, calls and solos from the Rio Samba genre. You will also play some 12/8 beats to develop a better understanding of complex rhythms and percussive hearing skills. Funky beats and modern grooves are transcribed to batucada instruments. Each course participant will receive sheet music for the pieces played.

Modified rhythms on batucada instruments.

Individual playing levels of each participant will be accommodated. Less experienced sambistas will find the perfect introduction to the rhythms with easier parts, while more advanced musicians will be challenged with demanding solo phrasings, calls, breaks and frequent instrument changes.

Compact workshop for music teachers and group leaders.

Schedule: The class will be divided into three sections: In the mornings, the focus is on playing technique, supplemented by an introduction to instruments and their backgrounds. Afterwards, rhythms and solos will be rehearsed. In the evenings we will continue practicing until our hands on fire and the session ends in free jamming and partying.
