A Community Drumming Circle is facilitated in-the-moment drumming and percussion event, aimed at including all players regardless of their playing experience and expertise.
It is not a drum class, and so only minimal instruction is required, or given. Rhythms are made up in-the-moment by group consensus. There are no wrong beats, just opportunities to connect with the group, and with the music.
With the their permission and agreement, a Facilitator guides the group to their highest musical level, through a series of rhythmic games and interventions, until eventually the group becomes a fully connected, self-facilitating orchestra.
This cooperation enables both the advanced and the beginning drummers to play happily together. Participants experience tremendous freedom to play what they feel, rather than following a complex set of rules.
A Community Drum Circle is suitable for all sorts of occasions, where the focus is on bringing a group of people together, connecting them as a community, and creating a shared musical experience, and having fun.
At Sustaining Rhythms, we can provide your group a Community Drum Circle experience of up to 100 people (or more) with mixed drum and percussion.
