Yesterday, I had a fantastic time promoting next weeks free taster sessions at The Drum Room! I was privileged to have the fantastic Martin Gallagher from Yamaha Music Schools whipping the school children into a frenzy with a brilliant interactive showcase demonstrating the joys of playing the drum kit. The children loved how they instantly played as Martin put “A world renowned drum beat” with Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and they watched with big smiles as we demonstrated songs from Dua Lipa to Royal Blood.

A big thank you to St Marys RC primary and Horwich Parish primary schools for given us the opportunity to do this, and a special mention again to Martin for his support and advice and putting on a great show. **If your child is interested in attending a free taster lesson next week please don’t hesitate to contact me on info@rickstix.co.uk. Free taster sessions are after school from Tuesday 21st to Thursday 24th September. **
