Community Hand Drumming Class

For beginners who are new to this style of drumming or those who want to brush up on their skills and continue their journey. We’ll explore the rhythms of West Africa & beyond. Participants will learn the fundamental language of the drum, rhythmic concepts, how to create meaningful musical dialogue, along with essential playing and listening techniques. We often take a deep-dive into the songs of the dun duns and deconstruct how those parts and the djembe parts fit together to create multi-layered rhythms. Some drums will be provided or feel free to bring your own djembe, conga or ashiko style drum. $10 requested donation.
