Rhythm Groove Drum Circle

Let's get our groove on!
No experience necessary! You do not need to be a musician. If you can hear sound and clap your hands, you can certainly participate in a drum circle.

**How It Works:
Enter and find a seat. Pay $10. Meet some people and chat a bit. Grab a drum or any other percussion instrument in the center. Listen and follow the beat. Finally, let go and have some fun!

YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE. IF YOU DO NOT CONFIRM, YOU WILL BE REMOVED. Last time, about 15 people signed up, but only six people showed up. They brought a ton of extra drums, especially for us, bc I told them there would be 15 people. While we had a fun time, it was very embarrassing. Let's not do that again.

What to Bring:

• Bring a drum if you have one, if not, no worries, they've got you covered! They always bring plenty of extra drums and percussion toys. You're able to switch them whenever you want to try something new. This is not a "class", but he does explain how some of the instruments are played.
• Water (there is a water fountain)
• Open heart and mind ready to jam a bit! (and dance if you're feeling it)

Cost:

• $10 admission at the door to Michael Kenny (cash or Venmo) to cover the cost of the space and upkeep of the drums.

Location:
