We are starting a new (but old at the same time) chapter in our business. We thought about it for a long time and eventually decided to come back with the idea of organizing professional drum workshops to be called Beatit Days. The first such workshop took place during the Przystanek Woodstock festival in 2015. You can see the report from this event here.
However, the concept of future workshops is different. We want to offer you cyclical meetings at the highest level (this includes educators, knowledge, accommodation, meals and additional attractions), which will take place in a charming place in the Notecka Forest. Those of you who have already been following our recent activities know what that place is!
The first edition of Beatit Days in the new formula will be hosted by Wojtek Deręgowski.
Wojtek Deręgowski is a Polish drummer and musician. He studied at Berklee in Boston. Currently, Wojtek is active on the music scene in Poland and abroad both as a concert and studio drummer. He has worked with Tina Karol (with whom he still performs), Rosalie, Sorry Boys, Monika Lewczuk and Marcelina. A large part of Wojtek’s career is based on social media activities, which involve frequent posting of drum videos. His channel has over 300,000 followers. In his drumming and education, he focuses on unique style, creativity and sound, as well as musicality and emotional expression on the drum kit. Wojtek is endorsed by the following drum companies: Vic Firth, DW Drums, Meinl, Remo, Roland and 64 Audio.
