Leeds College of Music students got a real treat as Yamaha brought ace percussion quartet BackBeat for a percussion workshop and concert on 5 October 2009. The ensemble, which relies on visual and choreographical elements as much as pure musical ones in its performances, wowed more than 40 students who attended, following the College percussion faculty's acquisition of a top Yamaha marimba.
