❄️ Unfortunately due to the adverse weather conditions this week, tonight’s session is cancelled. Paths & side roads are icy & unsafe. We are disappointed to have to cancel our first session back for 2025, but we want everyone to stay safe. We will be back next Thursday! 🥁
Last night saw our last gig of 2024 and what a great one we had! Bringing some happy beats to the people of Amazon MAN2 in Warrington who have been busy working on Black Friday, whilst santa hats and light up drums made for some very excited drummers too🎅🏻🎄#amazonman2
An amazing afternoon was had yesterday across our two workshops with James from Taiko West 🇯🇵 We had a great time learning various rhythms, trying different drums & also different styles of playing the instruments. We even had a samba-taiko mash up at 1 point - sambaiko anyone?!

Happy World Drummers’ Day! And just perfectly it falls on the best day of the week, samba Thursday! What better way to celebrate all the wonderful drummers that make up Batida Rio than rumbling those samba drums 🥁 #samba #sambaband #worlddrummersday #worlddrummersday2024
On Thursday we welcomed A&A Media to film Batida Rio. The session was bouncing with so much energy showing off our music & letting Adam see just what makes the band so good! Huge thanks to Adam on creating this short video for us - you can really feel that power of the drums! 🥁

A fabulous Christmas meal out last night with many of the group!
Lots of chatter about our upcoming Christmas performance - come and see all these lovely faces drumming away in Time Square, Warrington on Sat 16th Dec 12pm-1pm 🎄🎄🎄
The stars must have aligned on Thursday as we had record numbers attending (only beaten by opening night), too many to fit everyone in shot!
You all sounded incredible too! 👏🏻 🌟
