"Thank you for a fantastic company event! Drumming brings people together wonderfully ❤️. Mr. Oplatek handled every challenge with ease — English, more participants than planned, even a change of time and venue — and communication was excellent. I highly recommend experiencing it!"

"As part of our conference, we included a one-hour group drumming session for 90 people along with a short performance with dancers. We were extremely satisfied! Everyone remembers it and was pleasantly surprised."

I really enjoyed African drumming lessons with Tomáš. He is a great and very knowledgeable instructor, fantastic musician and also fluent in English. His lessons are always fun and really well structured. I've learned several West African rhythms, including solos on djembe and also learned playing the base drums. The atmosphere is always relaxed, full of laughter and he takes time to help everyone individually. It's a great way to decompress after a busy day and meet lots of fun people

U Toma se učím bubnovat teď skoro dva roky. Sešla se nás skvělá parta a lekce stojí za to. Nechápu, jak to Tom dělá - i když hraje najednou třeba 12 lidí, tak při tom zachytí sebemenší chybu u každého, kterou normální člověk nemá šanci postřehnout 🤷‍♂️

Tomáš je příjemný sympatický vtipný a hudebně nadaný kluk, který workshop vede příjemným způsobem a když se sejde parta lidí s hudebním sluchem a přiměřenou motorikou, je to krásný zážitek. Díky, byly to příjemně strávené 3 hodiny a uteklo to jako voda ;)

Reviews from Students

"The drumming course with Tom has become by far my favorite hobby in my entire life. And I tried quite a few things in my youth. Tomáš is incredibly kind and patient, teaches with humor yet thoroughly. He is a highly talented, excellent, and incredibly spirited drummer. The only thing I truly regret is that it took me so long to discover Tomáš and drumming with him."

Magda Mráčková

"When I signed up for African drumming, I went in believing I had no musical ear and couldn't keep a beat. Over time, I realized that was just a false belief, and I'm successfully overcoming that block. Djembe drumming is not only a great leisure activity, but I also see a therapeutic dimension — releasing pent-up energy while also recharging with new energy. The teaching is led in a friendly spirit. I recommend it."

Dana Lišková

"Tom has been teaching me drums for seven years. I appreciate his teaching empathy — he always explains the technique and rhythms so I can understand, remember, and play them correctly. His lessons are fun, lively, and varied."

Klára Malíková

"Tomáš is an excellent teacher — patient and able to break down complex things into simpler parts. He knows how to get a beautiful ensemble sound out of the group; we're amazed at what we manage to play under his guidance. And as the cherry on top, it's an experience to listen to his own playing, which combines great talent with quality technique and the ability to improvise playfully."

Gabriela Schwarzova

"Drumming lessons with Tomáš are amazing. The hour flies by before you know it. Tomáš breaks down every rhythm into parts and explains everything (repeatedly if needed). During the lessons, you'll form new neural connections and discover you can suddenly use both hemispheres simultaneously. You'll leave drumming happy and full of energy. You'll just wonder why you didn't start sooner. Bonus: beyond the positive effects on your mental health, drumming also benefits your physical health — the vibrations help ease things like stomach pain (tested on my own skin)."

"Playing African drums has changed my life like few other things, and Tomáš Oplatek is one of those teachers I happily return to year after year."

"The workshop with Tomáš was great, great, great. 3 hours flew by like nothing. Tomáš guided us wonderfully the entire time so that everyone participated equally in the group play regardless of their musical ability. The whole workshop took place in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere."

Šárka Dvořáčková

"I received this fantastic experience as a gift from my colleagues. My worries about not being able to handle it as a complete beginner were completely unnecessary. Mr. Oplatek was an absolutely captivating and very patient teacher. 3 hours flew by, the seemingly mismatched group of participants ended up becoming an amazing orchestra, and we went home charged with incredible energy. It was a wonderful experience and I recommend everyone to try it."

Dana

"I bought it as a gift for my friends and we were very happy. We were worried the rhythm would be a problem for us, but in the end we managed it and really enjoyed it. The instructor was excellent and explained and taught everything beautifully. The whole group was lovely and we were sad it was already over. Thank you so much for the experience, Tomáš!"

Markéta

"A fantastic experience. Drums have fascinated me since I was young, but I never had the courage to try it. Pleasant surroundings and a kind approach from the instructors 😊 I recommend it to everyone"
