Experience
🎶 No experience needed for beginner friendly classes, (which is everything except the Experienced Drumming Session) – just bring your curiosity, your energy, and your love of rhythm!
For the experienced drumming class, you should have a handle on the basics (bass, tone and slap) and be able to play at a moderate speed. If you’ve done a couple of terms of classes, or a handful or workshops then you should be fine.
Let’s do it!
Come alone and join the group or come with friends – everyone is welcome in this vibrant, inclusive community celebration of joy, togetherness and earthing through movement and rhythm.
Let the rhythm move you. Let’s come together and Shake the Ground!
