Ollie tunmer - drums & percussion

Over the years I have devised, developed, borrowed and adapted ideas for teaching samba and body percussion. When working with a diverse range of people and situations you need have a wide teaching vocabularly at your disposal.

My Samba Guide is designed not as a 'this is how you do it', manual but more to offer sugestions as to the kind of approaches you might want to try when developing your skills as a 'sambista', or general percussionist or when you're teaching others.

I must thank and credit those who have helped me along the way, notably Cicely Taylor, Dave Gallagher, Aideen Gallagher, Sam Alexander, Conal Whyte and Carnival Collective.
