Drums for one and all

Of all the instruments in the world, hand drums are probably the quickest to pick up and start making music without extensive training.  Yes, you can spend a lifetime perfecting your technique, but in this one hour workshop, not only will you learn how to make a good sound with a common hand drum, but you'll also learn basic rhythms that are fun to play together as a group.  If you own a hand drum, you can bring it along, but Dave will bring enough drums so that everyone will have something to play.  Even if you consider yourself "rhythmically challenged", you'll catch the beat and will be drumming away before the hour is over!
