IMG Hand-Drumming Workshop every Monday

Beginners-I: from 7pm ~ 8pm [$5 per session suggested donation]

  • Intro into West African, Afro-Haitian/Cuban Hand Drumming. This workshop is geared mostly towards beginners, but is open to intermediate level drummers who are looking for a relaxed setting in which they can focus more on their sound and less on complicated rhythms. Several rhythms are covered and the basic idea is to start to understand the dialogues between the various parts in an ensemble setting. It is a very slow paced workshop, but is on-going and continues to cover a broad amount of material

Beginners-II: from 8:15pm ~ 9:15pm [$5 per session suggested donation]

  • Intro into West African, Afro-Haitian/Cuban Hand Drumming. This workshop is geared mostly towards more beginning/intermediate players. The structure is the same as the Beginning I workshop, but the material is slightly more difficult and less time is spent in demonstrating the rhythms. It is open to all levels of drummers. However, since less time is spent stopping and re-demonstrating the rhythms, a beginner may feel a little overwhelmed. An absolute beginner may have to stop and watch a few times to get it, but that is perfectly OK!! Feel free to join in as you are able.
