Come learn percussion from Gaelic Storm's very own Ryan Lacey at this year's Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School!

Ryan Lacey will be teaching 2 percussion workshops August 13th and August 14th.
 
Percussion Workshop: Thursday, August 13th, 9a.m. to 11a.m.
 
In this open workshop Ryan will show that anyone can learn rhythm in this two hour hands-on drumming experience.  He will give a brief description of the drums he plays in Gaelic Storm and an open tutorial on how to play these drums.  As well, Ryan will show how he approaches playing world drums in Irish Music and also how he brings in his own influences from funk to rock into the mix.  ....

He encourages everyone that attends to bring their own drums such as Djembes, Congas, Doumbeks, Cajons or Bongos so we can all join in the fun.  He will provide drum notation of everything he focuses on for the students to take home.

Percussion Master Class: Friday, August 14th, 10a.m. to noon
 
In this class Ryan will focus more on showing how drummers can approach any music style and infuse it with World Percussion. He will show how he brings drum beats from the drum kit to the hand drum and vice versa to open up more avenues for students to explore in their drumming approach.  Ryan will show how to play everything from jigs, to reels, all the way to sambas and funk music on my World Percussion kit.  And lastly, he would like to show his approach at Flintstone soloing techniques. ....
 
He encourages the players to bring their own drums such as Djembes, Congas, Doumbeks, Cajons or Bongos so you can have a bit of group play as well.  He will provide drum notation of everything he focuses on for the students to take home.

So wish I could be at the drum workshops.  Would be great if you recorded this to DVD. I would buy it for sure. Now I'm gonna go sulk since I can't get to the workshops.
Should be great.  Ryan is my favorite drummer.  I encourage everyone to go to the workshops if you can.

I'll look forward to have Ryan teach us the art of Irish music... and then see Gaelic Storm perform again at Milwaukee Irish Fest.
