- Mike Dolbear, Educator
Informal, hands-on, friendly round table discussion.
Examine through a detailed lesson plan, how heads are made, the different types and brands, tuning techniques, kinds of drum shells, bearing edges and fittings examined up close. What can we expect of them and why do drums sound the way they do?
About DTW
Jeff Davenport has been teaching tuning to professionals and learners alike for 20 years.
"All tuning is temporary - it hardly ever stays the same, and that's why it can become a little frustrating in managing the process - we just want to get on and play!"
Jeff will show you how to build on the knowledge you've already gained to make the whole process of tuning drums a whole lot more inuitive and relaxing.
Jeff has worked at events alongside Ash Soan, Gavin Harrison, Steve Smith, Geoff Dugmore, Neil Wilkinson, Mark Richardson, Chad Smith, Kenny Aronoff, Benny Greb to name but a few...

"I don't know anyone in the buisness with more knowledge on the history of the modern drum head or tuning. I learn something new every time I see him." - Ash Soan, Norfolk
