DRUM The style of Stefan Trzpil

Led by Mateusz Dobrowolski

For all interested – drums and drumming sticks will be available for those who don’t have their own instruments
We will have a close look at the playing technique used around the village Mierżączki, Garwolin district, in south-east Mazovia, where the family Trzpil band came from. The drummer, Stefan Trzpil (1921-2000) had a unique, archaic style and is possibly the only drummer recorded solo by the Polish Radio. We will learn the key elements of his style – the finger tremolo, the basic drum hits, and the gallop in obers and polkas.
