Coordinated by the staff members of Austin’s own hand drum shop X8 Drums & Percussion and facilitated by Toca Percussion endorsed artist Nina Rodriguez, this drum circle will be a fun and relaxing community event. Any type of instrument is welcome, so be sure to bring anything from your didgeridoo to your conga. X8 Drums & Toca Percussion will also supply djembe drums to those without an instrument.
