Vaudeville Park, Keith Abrams Hold Drum Tuning Workshop on Thursday, 9/15

Drums will take center stage at Williamsburg-based community arts center Vaudeville Park with a drum tuning workshop this Thursday, September 15th, 7-9 PM.

Hands-on honing of drum tuning skills are to be had at Vaudeville Park on Thursday, 9/15.

Created to benefit both recording engineers and drummers, the workshop features Keith Abrams, (Tzadik Records, Pak, Kayo Dot, Time of Orchids, i.e. John Zorn). Abrams stands as one of the most influential and noted drummers now in NYC’s art rock, doom metal, and counterculture music scene. Admission is $25.

As SonicScoop writer Justin Colletti observed in his recent article, drum tuning is an invaluable but often-overlooked skill. Vaudeville Park previews this essential event thusly:

”For engineers recording a popping single, or drummers wanting to get their sound noticed, drum tuning just makes that satisfactory ‘pop’ on your tom and snare for impacting and memorable music.

Create snapping snare pitches, make sounds more professional on recordings, and tune a drum kit to chords with tonal harmony.

Workshop includes head set up, head choice, and one on one proper tuning techniques.
Also when to change you drum heads, and basic drum maintenance and care.

Please bring a snare drum, and new drum head, bottom and top if possible to get the most out of this affordable, and truly worthwhile class.”
