Who is this drum circle for? Grown-ups of all ages. For those new to drumming, as well as more seasoned players to have fun with their drum! No previous musical or drumming experience is necessary, and if you think you have 'no rhythm' then know that you do! You just need to rediscover it, and then enjoy the bliss that reaches your soul. We take it at a gentle pace, (definitely no pressure!), building skills and confidence while having fun in a relaxed environment.
Regular drummers will be able to build a 'repertoire' of rhythm patterns.

What kind of drums will we be playing? Djembes (Jem -Bays) are goblet-shaped drums of West African origin, played with the hands, and are very popular drums across much of the world.
Are drums provided? Yes, you can book a place with a drum for the session. I have lightweight contemporary djembes which are suitable for vegans. Book your ticket to include djembe hire. |
Can you bring your own djembe? Yes, please do :)
There will also be other percussion instruments available, particularly for our 'freestyle' session. You are of course welcome to bring your own (acoustic) instruments of any kind - it's a great opportunity to play!

What time should you arrive? The doors will be open ten minutes or so beforehand, ready to begin drumming at 1.30pm.
What about parking? There is a free parking area at the venue. (It's okay to double-park if space is tight.) What do you need to bring? A bright smile and a bagful of good vibes! A drink may also be a good idea (the kitchen will not be available), and of course your drum - unless you have booked to hire one. Dress to keep warm enough in colder weather. What time does drumming finish? This drum circle lasts for a 'generous hour', finishing by around twenty to three. |

How do you find the Church Hall? (Not to be confused with Mark Village Hall!)
The Church Hall can be found down Vicarage Lane which is almost opposite the church (but not quite!), on the same side of the main road as the garage, and directly opposite a pink house.
Turn into the lane and follow it for a short way. You will see a sign on your right hand side saying 'Dead End'. (Not especially welcoming, I know!) This is at the entrance to the hall car park.
Drive up the slope and you will see a small parking area, and a larger area beyond it. Don't be afraid to 'double park' - the cars already there will be there for the day.
