FAME WEEK | BRING THE BEAT: WITH LEON “KWIKSTIKS” KITTRELL II

FAME WEEK | BRING THE BEAT: WITH LEON “KWIKSTIKS” KITTRELL II

The beat breakdown is one of the most important elements of a hit song— in this event we invite performing artist Leon Kittrell II to breakdown famous beats over the years, as well as a few student submitted songs.

Infused with fun games like “Guess the Groove”, Leon will take us on a musical journey where we strip away the vocals and other instruments and focus solely on the drums & percussion of some of today’s biggest hits.
