*Rescheduled Date: June 12 (originally was scheduled for May 29-30)
The time is finally here! Another drum building workshop with Giving World Percussion!!

If you have been waiting to buy your drum or tune your old drum, now is the time. For around the same price as you would pay for a new top notch drum, you will also get the benefit of learning how to tune and build your drum. For less than the cost of a professional drum rehead, you can learn how to fix your own drum! Tools of the trade will be available for use and purchase.

This will be the fourth drum building workshop in Orlando by Giving World Percussion. The event will be located on North Hyer avenue, less than two blocks from Mills avenue and East Colonial Drive. The event will be on Saturday and Sunday. The times are flexible and I will be available to assist many more hours than you will need to be there.
