Ready for
Your First Drum Circle
You might choose to bring with you a hand drum (not traps / not a drum kit), a tambourine or other small percussion, homemade shakers, or sticks or claves. Many drum circles provide share-drums for newcomers. You might need to bring your own chair. Just ask questions before you head out! Drum folk are normally very happy to welcome and help newcomers.
​
The most important thing you can do is to know about drum circle etiquette. A few tips about etiquette can help to protect the drums from misuse, and it can protect everyone's fun and enjoyment too!
