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 and make payment online. |
Can you bring your own djembe? Yes, please do :) If you are bringing your own drum, you can choose to either book and pay online, or book to pay cash on the day. Either way, the cost is £10.
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? Mary Brown Davis Lane is a narrow no-through residential lane, with the Church Hall at the end of it. There is only a very limited amount of car parking at the venue, (sometimes none available), however you can park on Church Road (or nearby) and then stroll through the church yard to the hall. 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. What time does drumming finish? This drum circle lasts for a 'generous hour', finishing by around twenty to three. |
