Drum Jam Percussion Event

I agree! to anyone who is a brasililian drummer that isnt samba. In fact its called Drum Jam Samba, fun, energetic, can be learned in 10 minutes, capturing the inspiration of carnival samba.

Should I add that these are a group of corporate excecutives who 30 minutes ago had never played an instrument in their lives. As part of a teambuilding session we taught them how to play music together. Calling it Samba is quite a broad description as its not samba as most people know it. But dont they look like theyre having fun, which is mostly what samba is for me anyhow.

I understand...

I know what you mean. I play in a samba band. Our Mestre gives these kind of corporate workshops; you can't teach people proper samba in 1 hour let alone 30 minutes!

[guilhermeguy]

is that samba??

American modern samba.....LOL

[drumjamuk]

Only Samba in the fact that we have surdos, tambourins, ago-go bells etc. The rhythms are a watered down version to make it for general mass consumption.

[guilhermeguy]

if you wanna see real samba, search for bateraclube

and look for a guy called Ricardo Barreto a.k.a

Banana. That's real samba

[drumjamuk]

Did look into him, but website is in postuguese (I think), and I dont speak any portuguese.

[guilhermeguy]

[drumjamuk]

Not anything but a watered down version of Carnival Samba drumming.
