Dubai holidays with children

I'm discovering as part of the French drums academic curriculum (batterie pour le conservatoire).
Yeah I'm a 🤓 who likes structure and following books.

I find accomplishment in reading drum sheets and co-ordinating all four hands and feet, with hi hat on all 2nd and 4th beat. 🥁

Still need to learn to relax the right hand grip!

Kudos to my drums teacher who's been teaching me through Skype since October.
