What is DrumClub?

DrumClub is an event put together once a month by Jéan Gabriel and Matthew Marinus, to get talented drummers together, to network with eachother and to have a serious jam session!

The event begins with Drum kits being setup in a big circle, Matthew Marinus hosts a rigorous warm-up leaving everyone breathless and sweating!! Shortly after that, we do something called "Idea Swapping", where we all gather around as a DrumClub Member demonstrates his idea for the month, it could be anything from a drum solo to a technical exercise, anything goes!! The ideas are written out and everyone gets a photocopy to take home and to practice for themselves!! Each Drummer shares their idea on their drum kit, one after the other.

Jean Gabriel Hosts the Jam Session where all the drummers play a different part at the same time with all the drummers showing their individual talent, for the people who are watching the event take place, they see and hear a stage full of drum kits and drummers, it's breathtaking!!!

The event is professionally photographed and Video Taped, all the video footage from warm up to jam session is put onto a DVD and the photos and excerpts of the video are loaded onto the DrumClub webpage!! All the Drummers get to share their passion in their own way for drums, at the end of the event they have several new ideas to try out, exposure on the web for everyone to see and a Live DVD of all the action!!

The DrumClub members are Jéan Gabriel, Matthew Marinus, Darren Leader, Stefan Lawrence, Dave Ashworth, Reto Suter, Adrian Joseph, Brent Roper and Marco Martins but new members are added every event!!
