Exotic Sounds Of Brazilian Drum Kit
Innovative. Exotic. Eccentric. Bold. There aren’t enough words in existence to describe the improvisational brilliance of Brazilian drums. It’s built out of an ever-evolving, eccentric, exotic array of percussive instruments. Over generations, they’ve been freely and easily borrowed from Africa, Europe, and Brazil’s indigenous peoples.
Perhaps you’re anxious to learn but are unable to dedicate your life to studying local musicians in the backstreet bars of Bahia, the clubs in downtown Sao Paulo and the chaotically colourful avenidas of Rio at carnival time. With vast regions and 26 states all contributing uniquely to the country’s national groove it may seem overwhelming to digest all of the rhythmic nuances and subtle techniques needed to complete your Brazilian beats repertoire.

Sample Lessons
Meet Your Teacher
With Cyro Zuzi you’re safe in the hands of a man with a back-catalogue which began with thrash metal, then took a radical turn into five years’ study with one of Brazil’s grand masters of drumming, Douglas Las Casas, and then embraced jazz, bebop and swing.
Cyro has an insatiable appetite for exploring, absorbing, and integrating rhythms from around the world into his ever-expanding repertoire of skills. But it’s to his Brazilian roots in Samba, Bossa Nova and Forro that he most fondly and frequently returns.
As director of the “Bish Bash Bosh” percussion school he maintains a constant connection to the rhythms that gave birth to the drumkit style for which he’s so famed, the world over. Don’t miss the chance to work with a true master of the art.
