Fusion drumming proves a success
On the weekend of the 28th February the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland hosted a drumming fusion workshop at the Scottish Youth Theatre in Glasgow. The weekend was well attended by the NYPBoS drum corps who had a fantastic time developing new percussive and drumming skills. The drum corps is looking forward to incorporating these new skills and techniques into a brand new fanfare which will be released later this year. A special thanks must go out to both Pete Lockett and Jeff Queen for there enthusiasm and professionalism over the weekend and we look forward to working with you once again in the future.
