Sense are here today with the Drumathon and it's to draw together some professional drummers, some student
drummers and as many people as we can with deafblindness to experience drumming and the sensation
of sounds and just collaborative playing on drumming together.
HI HAT
We'll I was talking to the organisers they were saying about how some of the deafblind people here experience
music in a very different way as to how people who can hear do as in they feel it through their body and I
thought that was such an interesting idea, I thought I'd come along.
Well my hope is that the deafblind people here today can experience the same thing, that it's going to be
fun for them, they're all going to join in.
It's going to be a happy up lifting experience. That’s what I hope.
I like drumming because it's a good experience to have and it’s good to make a lot of noise LAUGH and there
are difference techniques you can do and work different parts of the your brain and your body.
HI HAT
We’re going to use our feet

It was amazing, it was really fantastic.
It's great, really really good fun.
It was fun and exciting all the drummers think that I should take a career up in drumming,
they just kept saying that I was really good and I've nicked Dave's drum sticks.
There was some children on stage having a go at a drum kit. I'm sure it was the first time they've ever played
a drum kit. And sitting along side very expert, famous drummers.
Lots of excitement, lots of children, if they couldn’t get on to the stage the sound was there and there were
lots of instruments for them to play, and the whole thing felt very cohesive and very exciting.
So we should make this a regular event it was really good. The kids really enjoyed, it the adults really enjoyed it. Yep, really good.
Very nice to be able to use a skill for something else.
