Akira Nakamura MASTERCLASS

Musician and drummer Akira Nakamura has stayed in Boston, Berlin, Shanghai, and Tokyo, observing the relationship between music and society in each country, and has earned the trust of many artists in each region. He has built a career as a professional musician.

In this master class, we will develop the technical theory and individuality theory necessary to get a job no matter where you are in the world. What does it take to work as a drummer in the world? Being able to play an instrument logically is a must, but what's even more important is being able to play with your individuality. We will explain how to practice both while actually playing the instruments in a small group.

Rather than focusing on "chops (techniques)," we focus on the quality and individuality (groove) of the sound, and think about how to utilize these to play music.

*We will ask ticket buyers to ask questions in advance. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
