hello again,

a huge thank you to everyone who booked a drumming coaching session recently and to all who have been spreading the word...it's greatly appreciated and makes a big difference

i'm very glad to be back in action!

i've added some extra slots and amended timings slightly for the month ahead

3x 50minute slots on each day with longer / shorter options possible depending on availability

PWYC from £35 +

In person sessions in Bristol, BS5...online options possible depending on what you'd like to explore.

Drummers, Non-Drummers, Non-Musicians are all welcome - i believe we can all do this if we want to, often we just need the right support and conditions

there's lots to learn from drumming/music that can help with all aspects of life. Particularly when navigating times of attempted division and extreme violence.

When engaged with from a position of openness, developing a personal music practice can support peace, connection, acceptance and of course, creativity.

I've been drumming for over 23 years now and can help with a bunch of things including:

Timing
Technique
Coordination
Improvisation
Composition
Performance
Health & Well-Being
Endurance, Stamina & Fitness
Building Healthy Self-Confidence
Developing Attention & Maintaining Focus
Motivation
Purpose
Posture & Balance
Patience
Teamwork/Collaboration
Vocabulary
Practice Routines & How to Practice in relation to your needs/circumstances
Deep Listening
Sight-Reading & Alternative Notations
Polyrhythms & Polymeters
Developing Teaching Skills
Drumming History, Context, Traditions & Lineage

to book, DM or email me at: danjohsondrummer@gmail.com

thanks and best wishes

MONDAY 18 MAY: THE GATE PRESENTS NADEEM DIN-GABISI + LABAKE SABBATH + DAN JOHNSON + MR AKA AMAZING + WAYNE’S DRONES + GATE LOOPS + LOVE PERMANENT + RICHARD PHOENIX (DJ)

The Gate is back at OTO with a full takeover of music, performance and collaboration.

Running for over twenty years, The Gate is an arts space for adults with learning disabilities built around freeform creative expression, friendship, support and the belief that there should be “a Gate for everyone, on every street corner.” This night brings that ethos alive: with a bill full of distinct artists, bands, improvisers and performers with their own languages, humour and force.

NADEEM DIN-GABISI works across music, poetry and visual arts, channelling questions of belonging, estrangement and identity through potent streams of consciousness.

LABAKE SABBATH - the breakout star of Klein’s recent residency - is a singer, spoken word artist and lyrical free improviser whose songs move through humour, memory, grief, friendship and celebration.

DAN JOHNSON brings a singular percussion practice shaped through Bristol’s experimental arts and music communities, while MR AKA AMAZING makes vulnerable lo-fi hip-hop and distorted EDM from voice notes, raw lyrics and surrealist MC energy.

WAYNE’S DRONES can play deep, mystifying keyboard drones for hours. GATE LOOPS use self-made noise boxes, tape loops, laptop and videotape-synth setup in a prepared but improvised structure, while LOVE PERMANENT, The Gate’s Friday improv band, moves with tripped-out funk inclination and a completely unpredictable sense of where the jam might go.

RICHARD PHOENIX DJs and holds another thread of the night: painting, writing, music, facilitation, DIY bands and learning disability arts, all feeding into a practice built around co-operation, support and care.

This will be a special one - generous, unruly, funny, direct and full of life.

MR AKA AMAZING

Duane Warner (known as Mr AKA Amazing) makes distinctively vulnerable lo-fi hip-hop and distorted EDM, which he builds around voice notes using his phone. His softly spoken lyrics are raw and vulnerable, often about feeling misunderstood, although when performing live he enters a hyped-up surrealist MC mode. Duane loves to collaborate, and recently stormed Bristol with an impromptu appearance with super-versatile drummer Dan Johnson, which has led to this first ever London appearance of the duo.

'Illegibility Mistakable: Master AKA Mr Amazing on Collapsing Drums collects several tracks from earlier, self-released albums – Think Big and Am I Being Unreasonable – into one righteous lump of lo-fi hiphop that’s somewhere between cLOUDDEAD and Adam Bohman. “MANGOBAY” sounds like someone wrestling with the ideas of life and relationships while speaking through a broken supermarket tannoy.' — Spenser Tomson, The Wire

DAN JOHNSON

Over the past decade, Dan has established himself as a key figure in Bristol’s, and the wider UK experimental arts and music community. A distinctive improviser and performer whose practice is centred on percussion performance, he has collaborated widely in important groups and ensembles including EP/64, Run Logan Run, and performed nationally at festivals and events such as Supernormal and Unwedding festivals. Dan is one of the most exciting percussionists working in the field today; he has developed a singular style and become widely known for the unique focus and intensity of solo and collaborative performances, which are often site specific in nature.

The Gate are doing another night @cafeotodalston !

We’ve got a wonderful lineup of artists including the megavibe @nadeemdingabisi, our very own Labake Sabbath, and Bristol’s inimitable percussionist @danjohnsondrums will be joining forces with @kingmramazingofficial following their electric impromptu Bristol collab last year.

Following their debut at Klein’s residency a couple of months back, Labake Sabbath will read some of her songs as eerie spoken word while Wayne plays his deep and mystifying drones.

We’ve also got Gate jam band Love Permanent, Gate experimentalism from Gate Loops (launching a tape at the gig), and between the sets Richard Phoenix will drop tunes on the decks... What better way to spend a Monday night? 🤍✨
