Make beautiful music in a drum circle with rhythm instruments

Drum Circle with Curious Community

Rowan and Mike met whilst attending the Village Music Circles Drum Circle Facilitator Training, where we bonded over late night drumming sessions which went on till the early hours of the morning. Inspired by the power of rhythm-based activities to connect people, we decided to put on drum circles together.

These drum circles are opportunities for you to let out your playful side, be creative, and not worry about making mistakes or ‘doing it right’. All you need is a desire to have fun and connect with others through the power of shared rhythm.

Dates every second Friday of the month at  7-8.30pm:

  • 9th January
  • 13th February
  • 13th March
  • 10th April

We have new pricing:

  • £15 - I need to borrow a drum
  • £12 - I'm bringing my own drum
  • £10 - Concession / Low Income / Student

It might be helpful to bring ear plugs if your eardrums are a bit sensitive but you still like to feel the vibrations in your body.

 

What is a Drum Circle?

Drum circles are a unique and collaborative way to share your inner rhythm with others. At a drum circle, people come together to celebrate community and life through rhythm and music. It's not about musical expertise, but about creating rhythms on the day through cooperation and collaboration.

Who's it for?

Anyone can participate in a drum circle, regardless of their musical experience. It's an opportunity to express your creativity and connect with others through rhythm. All drums and percussion will be provided, so you don't need to bring anything. Join a drum circle and experience the joy, passion, and emotional release that comes through the power of rhythm.

What are the benefits?

Drum circles offer many benefits for mental and emotional well-being. They have been shown to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and increase "feel good" endorphins in the brain. Additionally, drum circles promote neuroplasticity by creating neural connections and strengthening existing ones. Both sides of the brain are engaged, with the left hemisphere focusing on tasks such as keeping rhythm and coordinating with other players, while the right hemisphere engages in more creative aspects of drumming such as improvisation and emotional expression.
