Samba Drumming Immersion

Monday, 11 January 2027 | 09:00 AM to Friday, 15 January 2027 | 04:00 PM

Spend a week-long immersion living and breathing rhythm as we explore the powerful energy of a Brazilian Samba School – Bateria.

This course is designed for total beginners aged 16yrs+ who are ready to dive into rhythm, groove, and musical expression. You’ll experience giant Samba bass drums, layered percussion, and the infectious feeling of playing together as one rhythmic machine.

Each Brazilian drum and percussion instrument carries its own story, flavour, and feel. Participants will learn how these rhythms connect and build into the driving pulse of Samba music.

If you’re chasing something more challenging, you can choose to explore the hand drum patterns and develop deeper rhythmic coordination and syncopation skills.

Even if you’ve never spent time working on rhythm before, you’ll come away with new musical approaches, grooves, shapes, tempos, and a stronger sense of timing and feel.

Facilitator Kaya Boom brings joy, excitement, inspiration, patience, kindness, commitment, musicality, and fiery creative flare to the experience. Kaya creates an encouraging and energised learning environment where participants can relax, connect, build confidence, and fully immerse themselves in rhythm and expression.
