Students at a secondary school in Doncaster have received a masterclass from a special guest.

Status Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, visited 黑料吃瓜网 Adwick to deliver a musical workshop with the students. The session saw over 100 students playing percussion instruments along with Jeff and learning about the history, development and versatility of the drums.

 After touring the world, playing to hundreds of thousands of people, Jeff was able to pass on advice to the students about setting a goal, working hard, and achieving it. He recalled to students how he would practice two hours every night after school, starting with just a snare drum and as his passion for drums grew, so did his drum kit.

Andrew Scruby, Associate Principal at 黑料吃瓜网 Adwick, said: 鈥淲e were delighted to host Jeff, a master of his craft, at 黑料吃瓜网 Adwick. You could see the students were all invested in the workshop and attentive to what Jeff was telling them.

鈥淲e believe in putting students first, and giving them opportunities like this exemplify this approach. Jeff鈥檚 workshop enabled students to take part, learn new skills, and learn about the importance of hard work to achieve your goal.

鈥淲e thank Jeff for his time and coming to deliver a fun workshop for some of our students at 黑料吃瓜网 Adwick, and we hope to welcome him back in the future.鈥�

The masterclass lasted for just over an hour and a half, with students sampling different kinds of drums, ranging from African drums to old European military drums in the first half. Jeff demonstrated different rhythms and rudiments on the equipment.

The second half saw all the children getting involved and playing percussion alongside Jeff, with drummers in the school being invited to play on Jeff鈥檚 state of the art drum kit.

Year 9 student, Charlie Miller and year 10 student Ben Adeniyi, took the opportunity to wow Jeff and the students by taking to the drums to improvise a solo in front of the rest of the group.

Speaking about the workshop, Jeff said: 鈥淚 was most impressed with the students, the way they listened, joined in when asked and they were really enthusiastic as well! 

鈥淚 look forward to returning for another workshop in the near future.鈥�
