Jammin’ Blog by Rob Crowther November, 2021

As we approach the season of thankfulness and giving, we reflect on what was overall a much better year in 2021. All of us at Big Beat are thankful to see our Big Beat families back in studio and perform at our annual showcase, which we sorely missed in 2020. With 2022 fast approaching we continue to make improvements to the aesthetic of the studio and teaching tools.

As always we have our infamous Drum-O-Meters, lights, lasers, bubble machines, and TV Screens. Joe has also had a few more electronic drum sets and lights throughout the studio. Outside the studio on our Big Beat walkway we now have not only Elvis and Louis Armstrong, but ALL four of the Beatles are now ready and waiting for you to snap a pic along our musical walkway. Also Be sure to check out our illuminated drum set outside the studio in the evening with the drum stylings of "Wipeout" playing along.

Rock Band performing at Big Beat Showcase 2021

We are proud to say that our Rock Band class , and Percussion Ensemble have also continued to go strong in some form or fashion throughout the ups and downs of the past one and a half years. Many of our Ensemble / Drum Students are involved with the local Marching Bands, and we are so proud to see them performing for Neptune High School, Ocean Township High School, Wall High School and more.

We are certainly always moving forward with an onwards and upwards mentality here at Big Beat, and as always.... Keep on Jammin!!
