HUGO JAMES

I've been playing drums and Latin percussion since 2004. I have been privileged to study under and play alongside some fantastic musicians from the world of jazz and Latin music. I have played  both on stage and in the studio with a wide variety of bands and styles that include Salsa, Jazz- Fusion, Disco and Rock.

Whether you're an absolute beginner or an experienced musician looking to expand your skill set I can help you discover the rich and complex rhythms and song styles rooted in Salsa, Son, Rumba, Abakwa, Calypso, and Merengue to name but a few.

I teach a myriad of Percussion instruments, including Congas, Timbales, Bongos, African and Brazilian drums, and I can talk for hours about polyrhythms, cross-rhythms and the Clave.

I offer one to one classes and group Sessions subject to availability, click the link below to arrange a chat about your needs.
