Drum course in the Mettmann MGH: Build and play instruments yourself!

Am Königshof 17-19, 40822 Mettmann, Deutschland - in Mettmann it will soon get really loud! In the multi-generation house (MGH) at the address at the Königshof 17-19, an exciting drum course for young talents between the ages of 10 and 14 starts. But before the rhythmic sounds make the walls shake, the instruments must first be built. An exciting project that is supposed to promote the creativity and the manual skill of the participants!

The instruments that are used here are not just drumming. These are Cajóns and the similar Cajintos that originate in Latin America. These special instruments have an eventful story: they were originally invented by black African slaves that were held in America. When the beloved fur drum was banned by their gentlemen, they created an alternative punch instrument variant out of necessity, which quickly established itself in the music scene. With the popularity of the flamenco, these instruments finally found their way to Europe and are now an integral part of many music styles.

a creative adventure for the youth

The young participants of the course can look forward to a creative adventure where they not only learn how to play drums, but also how to make them yourself. This not only promotes musical talent, but also teamwork and manual skills. A project that rejects the enthusiasm for music and community in Mettmann!
