Heart of things

The fourth RNCM Festival of Percussion promises the usual stellar line-up, and a rich blend of entertaining and educational events — and Centre Stage Percussion will be right at the heart of things.

We will have something for every percussion player on show — from the player just starting out to the fully fledged professional — from timpani and marimba to drum kits and snare drums.

Full range

There will be special offers available on the day, so don’t miss out, come along and support a great event!

Leading manufacturers

As well as enjoying performances and talks from some of today’s leading jazz, rock and orchestral drummers and percussionists, you can benefit from free drop in coaching sessions and attend the RNCM Trade Fair – featuring some of the UK’s leading instrument manufacturers.
