You don't want to miss this chance to learn and hone your skills in a
unique way if you are a serious bass player.
What
are They?
Bass
and drum clinics are making Patrick's already astounding reputation as
“Keeper and Spreader of the Groove” even more amazing! These
clinics are like master classes for serious bass players and drummers
too. The role of the bass/drum duo is articulated and explored. This is
a hands-on chance to polish your skills unlike any other forum. Clinics
focus on different topics, such as “Creating a Groove” or
“Styles,” exploring ryhthms from Funk and Rock to West-African,
Latin and more.
Drummers
Too
Drummers
take note: You are welcome to attend these sessions and will be glad you
did. Dave Meade is Patrick's drummer partner at these clinics. Dave has
played with many big-name musical artists, such as Bobby McFerrin, The
Mamas and the Papas, Aretha Franklin and others. Dave helps attendees
sharpen or establish their counting and timing skills and teaches bassists
how to effectively communicate with a drummer so your rhythm section will
be killer tight!
Audit
or Play
