 This Feb to open up the Drummers Club for 2010 we are very happy to welcome our very own Rod Gilbert who will be discussing all things jazz - this is a first for us. Rod will be discussing, Jazz Independence, Comping, Solo concepts (drums as a improvisational instrument) and the many genres of jazz..

Rod Gilbert has been a well known drummer and singer on the Australian Jazz Swing Circuit for the past 10 years since founding the Premier 4-piece Swing Band, The Shuffle Club in 1999.

Performing live since the age of 16, Rod has performed with an array of accomplished jazz musicians from both Australia and overseas, covering many different genres, giving him a vast understanding of all the many jazz styles.

At the age of 32 he is firmly established as one of the most sought-after front men of Swing as well as a force to be reckoned with when behind a drum kit.  He is a familiar figure as part of the Shuffle Club in jazz, arts and cabaret festivals throughout Australia, Japan and the UK with critics comparing his sound to the likes of Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones and Max Roach. 

This man has a unique ability to make every member of an audience feel that they are experiencing a truly personal performance.

This will be one not to miss and what a way to open up the new season of the Drummers Club!
