Australia’s premiere Ableton Certified Training Centre Liveschool are running a Drum Production Masterclass next Saturday afternoon (August 30) at FBi social in Sydney.

The event is all about getting Australia’s top producers, engineers and artists in the same room with local music-makers and emerging talents in Sydney, to share to their tips, tricks, ideas and techniques.

Expect a full Saturday afternoon packed with instructive performances, tutorial presentations and Q&As with a lineup including disco/house producer Yama Indra (aka GLOVES), techno-legend Francis Xavier (Infusion/Motorik), professional drummer and future-bass producer Dizz1 (who recently collaborated with Roots Manuva and Aloe Blacc), sound designer and Ableton Certified Trainer Josh Hogan, Shawn Mohammadi (The Only / Ministry of Sound) and Ableton‘s Adam Maggs.

Tickets are $55, available here at Liveschool’s website.

Still not sure what it’s all about? Here’s a video excerpt from one of Liveschool’s recent events in which Chris Emerson (What So Not / Emoh Instead) talked the audience through aspects of a successful career in music production (beyond the tunes), and the some of the production techniques behind his huge releases.
