This is a place for folks to connect with other drummers, dancers, and fire performers, didge players in the Ethekwini area and beyond.
No experience necessary. It is all for fun. Our community drum circle is open to all – to experience group drumming, to appreciate percussion as a music form in its own right, to release and to upload positive rhythmic energy from the loud sound and vibrations from the drums!
Welcome to the Drumshack Experience, a playful, expressive and energetic environment to collaborate to create music as a community.
Details
Our monthly drum circle takes place last Saturday every month!
Join us for an evening of magical rhythms, funky grooves & community drumming! All welcome – an opportunity to enjoy a group activity with friends and neighbors. It is a family-friendly event and open to all ages. No previous musical or drumming experience is necessary. It’s all about FUN!
So, whats it all about?
The participants make up the music as they go along, using their listening and playing skills to make musical connections and express themselves in any and all ways that feel right. Participation is voluntary and often includes drumming, singing or chanting, dancing, and listening. Community drum circles often attract both regular and drop-in participants of all ages and can take place just about anywhere. Community drum circles are the original and most popular form of improvised community drumming.
Our Venue..
An acoustically phenomenal amphitheater built from stone in a truly unique Castle setting constructed in the late 1940′s
