Now in its third year, hosted by Matt Green from the UK National Drum Fair, a monthly drum clinic invites some of the UK's top drumming talent to perform in The Palace Studio. The clinics are interactive, inspirational and educational.

There is also the opportunity for a deserving local player every month to join the clinic via an open audition held a few weeks before. So whether you are a student, amateur or playing regularly in a band and would like the chance of playing with some of the country’s leading drummers, please fill in the form on the ‘Apply to Play’ page via the website.
