Drum Clinics with DRUMBASSADORS - Pickering and Waterloo, ON

Sonor Drums Canada and Long & McQuade Musical Instruments presents:  DRUMBASSADORS!

Because playing drums together was a lot more fun than playing on their own, and because both are perfectly capable of sensing and complementing and even challenging one other, René Creemers and Wim de Vries decided to form The Drumbassadors in April 2000. Finally here was a real band without the addition of guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, horns, strings, percussion, background vocals or dancers!

For several years, René and Wim have been working on a routine which has developed into a unique show. Their musical, creative, virtuosic and humorous approach has become highly successful in the international drumming scene. What’s remarkable is that many non-drummers come to see a Drumbassadors performance as well!

Stylistically, The Drumbassadors combine European, African and American grooves, sounds and loops in their own unique way. An essential requirement of their repertoire is that it must consist of ‘songs.’ Melody, no matter how simple, is key. They feature the drumkit as a musical instrument with unlimited possibilities. The Drumbassadors run the gamut, from left to right, from top to bottom, from loud to soft, from thick to thin, from green to yellow, from round to square, from fast to slow, and... they do it with confidence!

Don't miss what's sure to be a unique and entertaining experience!
