The Palace Drum Clinic believe that there are great benefits to drumming, whether that would be in a one-to-one environment or better still, a workshop setting.

 

Even if you haven’t played drums/percussion before the active nature of playing said instruments can give an overall positive impact in a short space of time.

PDC workshops are designed to motivate and energise the participants whilst highlighting key messages and leadership traits for success.
