Jammin’ Blog by Rob Crowther April 2021

As the world continues to head towards what has been deemed the "New normal", we at Big Beat have kept our foot on the gas pedal. Throughout the pandemic we have been able to continue our lessons in studio AND online, as well as find ways to continue our Snare Devils Drum Ensemble and Rock Band sessions.

Behind the scenes, we are constantly discussing how to once again execute performances and showcases in a safe socially distanced, and possibly outdoor manner. In addition to our studio CDC regulated installations and protocols, we have also put the effort into making Big Beat the most fun and interactive studio in the state.

Our new sound activated walkway features songs and greetings from the likes of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, and Louis Armstrong. We are also implementing new LED displays with a few more surprises along the way which I have been told to keep under wraps for the time being.

Additionally, director Joe Nevolo and I have been filming some really fun and instructional drum videos featuring Joe's takes on many legendary drummers. You can subscribe and watch the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCogkh0NDXxw6NwItpIJljbw

Those are just a few of the fun things we have going on as the warmer weather approaches. Lastly, We would be remiss if we didn't take the time to thank each and every one of the students and families that have stuck with us through these very odd times. It's not just a moniker here at Big Beat but it's a way of life, as we always say...."KEEP ON JAMMIN!"
