When pointblank Music School had the honour of hosting Jason Cooper, the legendary drummer of The Cure, it wasn’t just another masterclass; it turned into an inspiring look at rhythm and percussion. Joined by tabla virtuoso Sirishkumar Manji, the session became a vibrant fusion of traditional beats and rock-driven energy, offering students an unforgettable and truly unique learning experience. Together, they showed just how effortlessly music can blur boundaries and create something entirely new. Here’s a glimpse of the night:
Jason treated us to a rare performance, playing two tracks from The Cure’s latest chart-topping album, Songs Of A Lost World: ‘A Fragile Thing’ and ‘Drone: NoDrone’.
Throughout the masterclass, Jason shared more than just technique; he offered a candid look into his journey through an ever-changing musical landscape. He spoke about the shift from intimate venues to massive stages and how these transformations reshape the connection between artists and audiences. His insights bridged the raw energy of the past with today’s evolving, tech-driven world. Here’s what happened previously when the two legends met.
