Point Cook Beatfactor Drum Classes are held on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm to 8.30pm at the Saltwater Community Centre, community room 1, 153 Saltwater Promenade, Point Cook, Victoria, Melbourne. The centre is spacious with parking facilities. Community room 1 is large with heating in winter and cooling in summer, making it ideal for all year-round location for learning community drumming. 

The Point Cook venue offers classes in African djembe hand drums and the larger dun dun stick drums. Whilst other hand percussion such as Bells and shakers are also used to enhance the rhythm of the pieces learnt. Classes are available for both beginners and intermediate students.

Other forms of drumming are taught after a certain time, such as Samba drumming style. Our students love using all the Brazilian percussion such as the 4 large Surdo Drums, Snare/Caixi drums for lovers of stick drums and other hand percussion instruments, Tamborims and Ganza to add the sparkle to the class favourite “Samba Carnivale’.
