All are welcome to join UUCGL for some Drumagic!
It is a way to express yourself. You will leave the afternoon feeling inspired and relaxed. Our drum circle is open to hand drummers over the age of 16. Beginners (with drums) are always welcome. We jam to West African and Haitian-inspired rhythms on djembes, ashikos, dunduns, congas, dumbeks, and makeshift hand drums. Please no snare drums, kit drums, or bucket and stick drums.
If you do not own a drum or are unable to borrow one from a friend, flat-bottomed, rounded-edge water cooler jugs and flat-bottomed, rounded edge (not sharp edge) Rubbermaid-type wastebaskets work fine as makeshift drums.
Never drummed before? No Problem. We will show you the way. Come out and plan to have an afternoon of spiritual awakening, fun, and meeting wonderful people. Oh, and if you like to dance, drum rhythms are great to move to as well.
Cost: Volunteer donation of $5 to $10 suggested. We usually meet on the second Sunday of each month.
Please note: for security reasons the doors will be locked promptly at 1:35pm, so make sure to be on time!
