Miami drums

Last drum class at the Goddest store I met Michael Dean Goodman. He has been managing a yahoo! group about drums in South East Florida. Finally, is refreshing to learn about more people trying to extend drumming traditions on this side of the world. My biggest goal and dream when I started this website was to include as much information localy. All the drum events around town and all the information revolving around playing drums and having fun.
Heres the link for the South East Florida drum circle

PS: Please don’t miss next Full moon circle. Miami Beach, North Beach – There’s not a specific location, but it always starts around where the Library is. Collins Ave. and 75 st. Hear the drum beat, follow your ears.
Full moon on Thurdsay night, but there’s also activities during Wednesday!

What better way to learn something than experience it ? They say that travelling is the only way of real discovery. Tam Tam Mandigue Website has this wonderful trip to learn drumming in a drumm camp at Conakry, Guinea. The idea is just fantastic. I imagine a cultural assimilation also from a country with a wonderful history on drumming and music.
You can find out more about the Drum trip for 2007 at this address.
The cost is about US$1750 (1450 Euros) for a month, they have an alternative, smaller, course of three weeks. Price doesn’t include airfare, so It’s a good time to star looking for a roundtrip Miami – Conakry.

Thank you to professorslap for the information!

After buying Buda, my little Djembe, from Harold, an old villager at St. Elmo Village, I got back home looking for more than the drum circle at the beach.

Don’t take me wrong, I really enjoy the first 5 min… it’s very easy to end up with just a lot of noise 😛
That’s why I started this blog. I wanted to find out more about drums and music down in South Florida. Post places where people can get education, and information about the subject.
Next Saturday I’m starting a Djembe class with Professorslap down in Hollywood at The Goddess store.
So stay alive.
