About us
• We organize drum circles in and near Detroit for both accomplished and wannabe drummers.
• We are also happy to post events sponsored and hosted by other groups -- so please let us know what else related to drumming is happening in the Greater Detroit area!
• In addition to gatherings put together by the small handful of organizers (others welcome!), it is our hope that members will organize events as well. -- It's easy! Just pick a place, a time, and the lead organizers can help you to post it. :-)
Please join our Facebook group, as well, so we can share even more about drumming events in the area and more related to the joys of drumming: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DetroitDrummingCircle/
