The group is dedicated to providing a multi-cultural drumming experience through an open and inclusive setting, with a focus on the facilitation of group drumming experiences. The class focuses on hand drumming techniques on a variety of percussion instruments including the Cuban cajon, congas and bongos, African djembe, Irish bodhran, and African shakers, bells, and woodblocks. Rhythmic traditions explored include the Brazilian carnaval samba, folkloric Afro-Cuban drumming, and the Bagandan amadinda xylophone.
