What’s It Like Drumming For Prince? | Hannah Welton
“Hi, thank you for coming. I’m Prince. Do you play ping pong?“
Hannah’s first meeting with The Purple One was anything but conventional.
“The guy was a genius,” she says. “I don’t know that I ever heard an off note.”
In this hour-long lesson, you’ll hear straight from Prince’s former drummer, Hannah Welton, what it was like to work with Prince, including songwriting and performance tips and rarely-told stories.
What happens if you mess up at a Prince rehearsal?
Who originally wrote the song “Plectrumelectrum”?
What was it like having a drum-off/bass-off with Prince?
Can the space between the notes be just as funky as the notes themselves?
And is Hannah now a ping pong master?
Watch the video for some important insights on drumming, life, and Prince – while enjoying some exceptionally funky performances.
