Learn Drums with Ray Pereira

At Classes in Melbourne, Ray and his team will teach you how to play African drums like a pro! 

Ray is an expert in teaching West African drums, particularly the Djembe. The Dun Dun drums are played with sticks and always accompany the Djembe in an African Drumming group.

Djembe rhythms come from all over West Africa, including Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Gambia and the Ivory Coast. These countries consume traditional music that features Djembes and Dun Dans playing a significant role.

Other countries in West Africa use traditional drums as their main instrument, similar to Ghana's Djembe. The popularity of the Djembe has now extended to various other countries beyond African borders; thus, many non-African traditional musicians are adopting the djembe as a solo drum and adapting their own rhythms accordingly.

In addition to the Kpanlogo drum, which is played with the hands, Ray teaches rhythms from Ghana that use sticks on other Ghanaian drums. By selecting a repertoire of various drums and rhythms, his students gets establish  a stronger comprehension of more than just one type rhythm and drum.
