August 14th, 2024Fancy drumming: new classes coming to Daylesford

Feeling rhythmic? Then a new series of drumming classes soon to start at Daylesford may just be for you.

The Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre will be hosting the new adults’ beginner drumming classes with the first in an ongoing weekly series set for Wednesday August 21.

“We are going to explore the sound and the rhythm of the drum; the focus of the class is to enjoy playing drums together while learning drumming technique,” organisers say.

“These classes are weekly, and they are organized as a block of consecutive classes which allows us to develop good rhythm, flow and technique. We are going to play West African rhythms, providing a lot of fun and knowledge.”

Nimba Drumming is leading the new hour-long classes and offering the first one free of charge for those who are not yet sure if drumming is for them.

Playing drums is a fun and healthy activity, it helps develop coordination, rhythm, exercises your mind and your muscles, creating a vibration that cultivates a feeling of inner happiness.

The cost of the block of six consecutive classes is $120 and organisers say there are no worries if you don’t yet have your own drum as spare drums are available.

More information is available from the neighbourhood centre.
