We will have signs!

Imagine a group of people picking up a drum or some percussion; and the next thing you know, everyone in the park is jamming! The air is filled with motivating sound and movement. You are floating and really feeling the beat!

Join us for an outdoor afternoon of the drum. There is nothing better than drumming and dancing and hooping out at a park. We are at our usual spot at the OPEN GROVE (yes, that is what the sign says).

Bring your own chair, drums, and other percussion instruments, food, water, toys, bug spray, etc. We will have a table for all the food.

EarthMovers Drum Collective was formed so that everyone could have fun drumming in a circle and share in the rhythm and excitement of the collective drumming experience.

Founder and facilitator Dave Miller started drumming with pots and pans, but his love for the art of drumming really grew in 1997 when he held a backyard garden blessing and friends came with drums and percussion.
