What we’re about
Play World Rhythms on hand drums and learn how they inform the Culture of the USA. Experience the depth of non verbal rhythmic communication and what it evokes in the group. Learn ancient transformative sonic geometry and how it affects consciousness.
We drum, move, speak rhythm, play percussion and enjoy rhythmic conversations. I tell stories and history from my vast experience with rhythm, music, recording and accompaniment.
These groups are beginner friendly and are for young people and adults. Many drums available to borrow or rent. I can also help you find your drum.
