• I'll go over the basics of posture and how to play 3 sounds - base, tone, slap.
• Introduce 2 drum parts to the traditional West African rhythm Econ con
• Facilitate playing this rhythm in community

7:00 - 9:00 - Open drum circle
Bring:

• A chair (I find a chair without armrests or a stool is best for playing Djembe but bring what's most comfortable for you.
• a drum or other percussion instruments if you have them. (bell, shaker, wood block...)

If you don't have a drum and think this might interest you come check out the community drumming experience! I have a few instruments to share if you don't have one. Dancers, hoola-hoopers, jugglers, or just drum-curious ALL WELCOME!
No charge, but free-will donations are welcome. Donations will support my teaching, help with promotional and organizational fees, and with the purchase and upkeep of instruments to share. 50% of donations will go to a selected charity.
