Summer Bucket Drumming is Here!

Join us for an immersive, hands-on musical experience that anyone can participate in!

Each class is a high-energy, community-centered drumming experience. Sessions include a fun warm-up routine, call-and-response activities, optional music reading, play-along tracks, and a full group cadence. Along the way, drummers will have opportunities to improvise and take short solos to showcase their creativity.

FAQ’s

  • The program includes 6 weekly rehearsals on Thursdays from May 28 to July 2. There is a free dress rehearsal and final performance on Thursday, July 9, where family and friends are invited to celebrate what the group has accomplished together. See the course descriptions for detailed times.

  • Not at all! Bucket Drumming is designed for all experience levels. Whether you're brand new to drumming or have years of musical experience, you'll be welcomed into a supportive and encouraging environment.

  • Music reading is completely optional. Visual learners and beginners are welcome, and all rhythms are taught through demonstration, repetition, and group participation.

  • Weather permitting, classes are held outdoors in a community drum circle in front of Forged Percussion. The area offers some natural tree shade, but please be prepared for warm summer weather. In the case of rain or a severe heat advisory, we will move the drumming circle indoors at Forged Percussion.

  • Please bring:

    • A beach towel or blanket to sit on, for extra comfort

  • Yes! Throughout the course, drummers will have optional chances to improvise and perform short solos in a fun, low-pressure setting. Participation is always encouraged, never required.

  • The final concert is a celebration of everything we've learned together. Drummers will perform as a group and may have opportunities to spotlight their own creativity. It's a fun and rewarding way to share music with family, friends, and the community.

  • Bucket Drumming is about more than learning rhythms—it's about building confidence, making new friends, and experiencing the joy of creating music together. Everyone has a place in the circle, and every beat matters.
