Our Programs

Community Drum Circles - Rhythm Events - Basic Hand Drum Lessons - Programs for Youth - Percussion Performances - Drum Repair

Simply put, we show up with a load of colorful, loud, African-styled drums and then help people have fun making music together.   No previous musical or drumming experience is necessary.  A facilitator is on-hand to get the rhythmic ball rolling and to help participants tap into their highest musical and group potential.

Community Drum Circles are simply rhythm-based events that utilize a variety of hand drums and percussion instruments to empower participants with the ability to create beautiful, spontaneous music.  This activity has wide appeal because anyone can participate regardless of age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or nationality. 

Rhythm Events can be tailored to suit your organization, school, or community.  Team-building activities, diversity programming, international fairs, and arts festivals are some examples.

In addition to drum circles, we offer small group and individual Basic Hand Drum Lessons in the West African and Afro-Caribbean traditions on djembe and conga drums.  We also offer educational and interactive Programs for Youth in schools, churches, and camps. 

Traditionally-inspired Percussion Performances can spice up your special events!

Sometimes things just break bad.  OCD can replace your goatskin drum heads.
