Simon Fraser

Teacher

SSF headshotimon has been drumming his heart out all his life. Starting with plastic drum-kits and pots n pans a kid and then graduating to a drum kit, he’s played many styles of music and found his passion in West African rhythms. Annual trips to West Africa since the mid 1990’s have seen him collaborate with some of the regions’ great percussionists. Simon returns to the region every year in search of new music, running a Tour to Africa. His love and knowledge of rhythm translates to his teaching where he focuses on dexterity, pace, honouring tradition and having fun
