The Glasgow Drum Circle

The Glasgow Drum Circle is a community arts group dedicated to learning and playing rhythms of the world. We are open to adults of various musical ability from the complete beginner to the more experienced drummer. In order to get people playing and their understanding of these world rhythms developed quickly, where they can perform as a group, we have developed a teaching system using both traditional methods and modern, western notation. This works really well for us. As well as this, we learn about the culture of origin of the music and the context the music is performed in.
