Barulho 10-Week Drumming Workshop

📍 Carlton Hill School, Sussex Street, Brighton BN2 9HS

Barulho are a Brighton-based samba reggae funk band, bringing high-energy rhythms rooted in tradition and always looking forward.

The open session is a relaxed, one-off drumming workshop led by Barulho director Pat Power — ideal if you’re curious to try drumming, meet the band, and experience playing together. No experience needed.

The 10-week workshop offers a deeper dive, with weekly sessions where you’ll learn a set of tunes, develop your skills as a group, and enjoy playing as part of a band. The workshop will end with a live performance in central Brighton. It’s suitable for complete beginners as well as those who’ve played before, and some participants may be invited to join Barulho.

✨ Open to all
✨ Friendly, inclusive atmosphere
✨ Learn rhythms, play together and experience the joy of playing in a band

First practice of the new year and it was buzzing First practice of the new year and it was buzzing 💥 Was so great to be hitting stuff again, playing an absolute banger of a tune, with smiles everywhere and lots of laughter. Its not every day you get volunteers lining up to lie on the floor or hide in grubby drum cases… what a wonderful bunch. Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings - bring it on!
