We hold drum classes on Wednesday evenings in Bristol, taught by Jordan. The classes are beginner friendly and we will endeavour to accommodate your requirements. No experience is necessary. Drums are provided. Arrangements are taught by ear and by copying. We have a video playlist to help with learning.

Performances
Members are welcome to come and perform with us if they feel happy to do so. There is no obligation to perform if you come to the classes.
We perform at festivals, street parties, carnivals and weddings throughout the year. Summer is usually the busiest time. For many of us performing is the highlight of being in the Sambistas and there are some perks in terms of food and drink and free tickets into events. We are keen to share that experience with new members. Performing is the most fun when you feel comfortable with the material. That is best achieved by coming to the classes each week.
