About the Classes
Gaby McKayle teaches West African Drumming focusing on rhythms from Guinea. Students will learn 2 or more djembe parts as well as Dunun (bass drum) parts for each rhythm. We focus on one rhythm for several weeks at a time. Classes are geared to beginning and intermediate students. New students are welcome! Classes are focused and structured, but easy going and accessible to students who have never drummed before. Bring your own djembe if you have one, or loaner drums are available. Polyrhythms are the core of African music. Students will learn the djembe parts, and also the different dunun parts that intertwine to make the music so rich and exciting. Have Kakilambe Drum be part of your next event!
Kakilambe Drum is also available to provide drum classes/drumming at your worksite or event. Contact me for more information. |

Loaner djembes are available for for students who do not have their own drum. Additionally, I have professional quality Wula Drum djembes available for sale.  Benefits of Drumming
There have been many studies which point to the benefits of drumming. Among other things, drumming has been linked to lower stress levels, lessening of depression, and the ability of alzheimer patients to better connect with loved ones. Drumming is a great community activity -- it is lots and lots of fun.
