Every first and third friday of the month is a free 'gallery crawl' in the NoDa (North Davidson St.) district of North Charlotte. On these nights a drum circle emerges around 8pm and will last well into the night. If you are in the area check it out. There is usually a lot more going on than just the drum circle, so come out!
More information can be found at NoDa's web site, Or by e-mailing me.

To create the musical spirit in our own community, CCD plays with an “open” group on two Tuesday evenings each month (1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month). Anyone is welcome to attend FOR FREE, and no drumming or musical experience is required. Typically 12-20 people gather for basic instruction and to play various West African rhythms. No experience is required, we teach the basics for the beginners as well as new rhythms and parts for more experienced drummers. Bring a drum if you can, but we usually have a few extra djembes to share if you don't have one of your own. Come and join the fun!

Drum Strong is an event held in early May of each year. We drum to raise money for cancer research and have a great time doing it. Artists come from all over to participate in the experience. Arthur Hull (drum circle facilitator) has attended the event as well as the Charlotte Community Drummers and a vast amount of other talented artists. I will try to have a booth out there for 2009 so keep an eye out for it! Visit DrumSTRONG - Drumming for a Cause
