We will be exploring traditional West African polyrhythms on the djembe, dun duns (bass drums), bells and shekere (beaded rattle). All levels of experience welcome; appropriate parts will be given based upon your experience level. We’ll also be using elements of improvisation which will allow for access to a fuller spectrum of the traditional sound. This will enable and exercise our ability for creativity to flow. Our goal as a drum ensemble is to become one drummer with as many hands as are playing.

The number of classes and cost of a class session will vary during the course of a year. Most often, there will be six class sessions.

Most of the folks participating in these classes are adults. However, from time to time, there are inquiries on whether or not these classes are appropriate for children. On the occasions that this has happened, we have had varying degrees of success of that child hanging in there. (so to speak) if this situation speaks to a need of yours, we will first need to discuss over the phone. On all of these prior occasions the parent either took the class as well or was present in the class to make sure everything was okay. If and when that was established, sometimes the child was dropped off and picked up afterwards. We've had ages 9 -16 over the years.

Also, my home is a fragrance free environment! Due to my sensitivity to perfumes, cologne's, after shaves, cigarette's, etc., if possible, I ask that you would attend without a presence of those on your clothes, body, hair, breath, etc.

Also, when participating in these classes, if you are playing any of the "house" drums, rings, bracelets & wrist watches will need to be removed in order to prevent damage from happening to an instrument, hand or jewelry.

Drums (djembes) are on hand for class use as well as for purchase.

On street parking.
