Teaching
Teaching is part of developing as a musician. Every time you explain something you understand it better yourself.
Nederlands
Lekker grooven, samenspelen met een bassist, spelen in een band, je eigen vette drum-grooves bedenken en natuurlijk optreden!
Ik geef les in de muziekstijl waar jij van houdt. Daarbij focus ik op groove, timing, samenspel, techniek, theorie maar vooral ook op creativiteit.
Locatie
De lessen worden gegeven in de Meijer (oude bibliotheek) in Neede. Daar heb ik beschikking tot twee drumstellen, opname apparatuur etc. (zie fotos)
Het is natuurlijk het handigst om altijd je eigen stokken en bekkens mee te nemen, dat is jou sound als drummer, zodat je daar aan went. Mocht dat niet lukken kan je ook van mijn gear gebruik maken tijdens de les.
Voor extra informatie over de lessen/lestijden/locatie kun je altijd contact opnemen.
About
Eddie Jensen is a communicative carefully listening drummer with a light and sensible touch rooted in traditional jazz. His love for detail and playing what the music asks for, enables him to seamlessly surf on the borders of styles accompanying indie singer songwriters as well as backbeat based Jazz.

With the “Baby Jazz Band” Eddie was touring in Europe playing in venues like the “Unterfahrt” in Munich, “A Trane” in Berlin and the “Hot Clube” in Lisbon.
