I was at one of his demos because my drum teacher suggested it and I'm so glad I did. I learned so much about different tecniques. I'm a metal drummer and i recommend that anyone who is even slightly interested in the art of drumming should look up some of his demos and go to one!! Trust me its definately worth it!'

What's On @ DRMC 2012
What's happening in 2013? The DRMC wants to hear from musicians, composers, community groups, schools and individuals about new music ideas and projects for 2013. Does the community need a composers' collective, a hurey gurdey orchestra or even a kerosene tin percussion group? Perhaps there are hidden bassoons, oboes and cor anglais players just waiting for an opportunity. Tell us at drmc.org.au or phone: Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays 9754 6566

RECONNECT and REFLECT thru MUSIC Project (RRTM) 2011 The Reconnect and Reflect through music activities came to a fitting crescendo on Saturday 24th September at the Yarra Glen Racing Club, Yarraview Room. It was an ealy start to the day for all participants with rehearsals and sound checks and then a sumptuous lunch was provided by Healesville Salvation Army for 80 people (Big Thanks to the lunch army). The day was something of a huge picnic, social extravaganza and musically filled adventure for all ages. Thanks must go to John and Moya for their patience, direction and encouragement with all our community singers and spokes people. The day went off swimmingly with all 11 new songs (written at our Reconnect activity groups) premiered before an adoring audience. Congratulations to all our Reconnect participants and supporters and Onwards and Upwards!
