African Drumming Course and Performance location

African drumming is an exhilarating and intense experience that is great for stress relief and stamina. It can also be meditative and calming. Its a great way to meet new people too.

With over 25 years of experience in playing and 15 years of teaching drums - based in Birmingham, I specialise in Traditional West African Rhythmic ensemble of Djembe, Dun Dun and Bell.

Drum Together Brum was set up 10 years ago and I run the African Drumming Circles for schools, team building, working with charities and at festivals such as Glastonbury and Shambala.

The history behind African Drumming is also fascinating, Griots engaged in oratorical art and music, they were genealogists, story tellers and musicians, the peoples living memory, the keepers of a dynasty's history in an oral tradition.
