Basic Hand Drumming

FunDrum's Jonathan Murray teaches "Basic Hand Drumming", a 6-class series designed for adults who want to learn to play hand drums.

FunDrum Rhythm Circles also offers the Basic Hand Drumming classes to private groups.

Would you like to bring the Basic Hand Drumming program to your group? Single event or series classes can be arranged. You provide the people and the chairs, FunDrum will provide the drums and instruction. (Please note that drumming classes are different than drum circles. In a drumming class, technique for playing will be emphasized, and you will learn fixed parts for compositions. A drum circle uses non culturally-specific rhythms and techniques and has a more free-form approach.)
