This page contains resources for hand drumming and drum circle enthusiasts. This page is designed for people in the Baltimore-DC area, but also features out of area events that are worthy of a road trip or flight. This section features classes, drum circles, and other workshops and events. This information changes periodically, so check back often.

Drumble Club

The Drumble Club drum circle formatting is two and one half hours, with the first hour open facilitator “Jump Time” followed by at least another hour of non-facilitated, free-form drumming. During jump time, anyone can ‘jump’ into the circle to facilitate an intervention sequence. This is a great venue for local facilitators to practice their skills and try new ideas. All levels of interventions (from basic to advanced) are welcome during jump time. After we have fun with the facilitators, then we kick it into the non-facilitated format and let the magic happen.

Check out the Drumble Club website for upcoming Drumble Club dates.

Participants must be 18 years old.

Cost: $5 admission
