Testimonials - We're Ready to Prove Everything We Claim!
Dear Trap Media, We had a fantastic day on Sunday and I would like to say how marvellous the African Drumming workshops were. None of our young people have experienced African Drumming before or anything like it before. We were all so impressed by the couple who came and managed to smile and be constantly enthusiastic all day! Thank you Trap Media and I will sing your praises to all from now on.
A. Williams Principal Youth Officer, Devon St John Ambulance

".... I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work at the xl Celebration Event. The feedback for the DJ & Music Composition workshop I have had so far has been amazing and if it hadn’t been for your positive attitude on the day and the flexibility to work with such a large and varied group of young people the event wouldn't have gone as well as it did. Hope you enjoyed the day also and hope you won’t mind us getting in touch for the next xl Celebration Event!"

Having mastered the technique and characteristic rhythms, pupils learn to create their own
African Drumming Workshops may run from 30mins to 1 hour, depending on the age group, and fit with the school timetable where possible. The time may be used in many ways; often schools want every class to have at least one contact so everyone has an opportunity to share the excitement. We also encourage a African Drumming performance towards the end of a project.
We will provide everyone with a Djembe drum and take the participants through a body rhythm workshop, leading in to a traditional composition involving multiple parts. Everyone will be able to play an instrument. The end result is a powerful sound and highly stimulating experience
