Greetings all! My name is Blake and I'm organizing a drum circle for players in the area. We used to meet in Byrd Park every Sunday during the summer, and now for the winter months we are changing to once a month.

What's our group about? Check the ABOUT US tab and you'll get a good idea. Basically, it's playing, drumming, playing and drumming. It's about meeting other like-minded people and making music. I've met some awesome people just this year and I can't wait to see who shows up next year!

We accept one and all--if you've never played before, if you've been playing for years, if you are a dancer and always wanted to try drumming, it's completely open. You can try a few different kinds of drums and shakers and bells. It's also family friendly! Bring the kids along; hey, bring the parents along (right Morgan?) It's a good time--I promise!

This is, and always has been, a free and open drum circle where all styles and skills are welcome. Read more
