Totally excited to play some drums with y’all on Saturday July 25 for the @arizonapas “Beat the Heat!” Drum set clinic - all ages and experience levels welcome. Here’s one of the tunes we’ll be jamming to: “Dai Dai” by @shakira and @burnaboygram is the official anthem of the #fifaworldcup2026 and contains elements of #Afrobeat and #Soca grooves that make it super fun to play. Sign up, for the clinic (link in bio) and we’ll send you the fully notated chart for this tune and others. Also, there is a full version of this drum cover on YouTube so you can play along or slow it down as necessary. #LETSGO 🥁🎶🔥 taken in Williams Field High School by @arizonapas
