Community drum jams are a great way to experience the unifying and energizing effects a a group of (mostly) strangers coming together to create “in the moment” rhythms with others. No musical experience is necessary to participate in community drum jams as this is NOT a “class” in HOW to drum. Rather, it’s an interactive experience in HOW to LISTEN!

There are always a limited number of drums and percussion instruments available to borrow or you can bring your favorite drum or whatever you have.
