RSM Community Drum Circle
Every 1st and 3rd Saturday @11am
Come make music with us! The RSM Community Drum Circle is a fun, welcoming way for people of all ages and experience levels to connect through rhythm, music, and community.
Led by RSM instructors and special guest teaching artists, each one-hour session gives participants an opportunity to explore rhythms, learn together, improvise, and experience the joy of making music as a group.
No prior drumming or musical experience is necessary. Whether you’re picking up a drum for the first time or have been playing for years, you’re welcome to join the circle.
Come drum, connect, and be part of the RSM community.
