HansCamps are small, welcoming and friendly. Come on your own and find yourself among friends, or bring your drumming friends to share the fun.

•⁠ ⁠Accompanying notation booklet and video demo so you can keep practising afterwards.
Above all, you’ll get a deep insight into some fantastic Malian repertoire from a teacher who has spent 25 years studying the rich culture of West African djembe music. Hans also is very experienced in understanding what students find challenging
 he really knows his stuff and how to communicate it!
