DRUM CIRCLE PARTIES

Have a party coming up? I can bring the drums, percussion toys and a few drummers to get you rocking! In a park or at your place, we'll be sure to get your guests grooving. Kids love drums...and so do adults. Better than making uncomfortable small talk and just getting loaded! we can adapt to the mood of your party...quiet, soothing rhythms or rollicking rocking, you decide.

Please call 626-961-5453 for a quote.
