FREE Intro Drumming Workshop

The trees are about to show us beauty of letting go. Are you ready to let go? Let go of stress? Let go of worries?
Come learn that about the power of drumming at Drum Journeys of Earth’s Open House on Saturday, Sep 12, at 10am. This free event will be at Rhythm Hall on the 2nd floor of Building 5 at the Howe Center, Rutland, VT.
There will be demonstrations of ethnic drumming including West African musicand Native American drumming. The audience will be encouraged to join in.
“Anyone can drum,” says Gary Meitrott, founder of Drum Journeys of Earth. “Rhythm is within all of us. It’s inside us as we breathe, as our heart beats, as we walk. It’s on the streets, in the cars we drive. It’s the earth itself. Rhythm is everywhere, and we cannot exist without it.”
Research has suggested that group drumming improves concentration, reduces stress, alleviates pain and boosts the immune system. What’s more, the mental and physical engagement is exhilarating, making it ideal for young and old alike. There is a multi-sensory engagement involving visual, audio and tactile.
Drum Journeys of Earth and its students are widely known for leading the Rutland Halloween Parade as the Drumming Skeletons. Students have also performed at First Night, at the Northern New York NAACP Fundraising dinner, with Soul Bath Trance Dance, and the Twice Baked Orchestra.
The school offers classes and performances in a variety of ethnic drumming styles, including West African Djembe; Latin; Native American drumming; Middle Eastern Doumbek; Irish Bodhran; and Rhythm, Rubbish, Rush, which is a combination of trash drumming and body percussion. DJE also offers drumming for children. For more information or to join Beginning classes, please call 802-282-2581, email [email protected], or log on to www.GaryMeitrottUnlimited.org.
As a Broadway actor, and founder/director of Drum Journeys of Earth (DJE), Gary Meitrott brings his theatrical talents to drum circles, performances and workshops, in addition to his weekly classes. His vibrations reach out to the community, creating a ripple that touches all ages – inviting them to come and play with the drum.
