Drum Circle with Kay Smith (6-session series)

Get ready to drum up some rhythm at our Drum Circle event! Immerse yourself in a beat-packed 6-session series – whether you're in for the whole groove with full-course tickets or feel like jamming spontaneously with our drop-in tickets. Let's keep the vibe rhythmic!

Alternate Thursdays 19:30 - 21:00, West Studio (Apr 30th - Jul 9th)

Our African Drum Circle workshop in London gives you the chance to learn to play the African “Djembe” Drum. Explore the “bass, tone, slap” sounds of this instrument and discover why African drumming is irresistible.

Drumming is a great way to release stress and develop creativity, and it’s also the oldest form of communal musical bonding. The class will also include time to dance, shake and move to the beat.

Drums are provided. No experience needed!

Drum Circle London is a collaboration with our friends at Mandala Centre. They are talented practitioners offering a range of workshops and events known as ‘The Mandala of You.’ Their curriculum unites mindfulness, playfulness and embodiment to feed you from the centre outward and to uncover your most radiant expression of self.

With Ailon & Kay

Kay Smith

I have been playing djembe for 15 years and love to perform and teach. I like to describe my drum circle sessions as an introduction to the Joys of Djembe. I love what I do and it makes me happy to be able to share my passion with others. My goal is to create an enjoyable experience for all levels and experience of participants.
