DRUM STUDY GROUP
This group is dedicated to deepening rhythmic awareness, fostering greater musicality, connection and drumming technique, and exploring a variety of rhythmic resources that enhance and empower individual self-expression and rhythm bliss! Together, we will bring a new level of rhythmic empowerment to our community drumming events, including possible community outreach events. Events will be offered in series format, where a committment is required to attend the majority of the sessions of a series and purchase of related literature. Special one-day events will also be offered for all participants of these trainings.
