Learn to drum in a FUN, welcoming, COMMUNITY atmosphere.
Even if you’ve never touched a drum before, a drumming class is a great way to reduce stress, have fun, and get relaxed and energized all at the same time! And did you know drumming in a group has been shown to positively affect your immune system? Drumming is a fun and health-ful activity for the whole family.
Both Amy and Colleen are Certified Associate Instructors with Tam-Tam Mandingue Winston-Salem, part of the international network of West African drumming schools founded by Guinean master drummer, Mamady Keita. We use a step by step pedagogy to introduce students to traditional rhythms and good playing technique.
No prior musical experience is necessary. Our beginner classes are designed to make drumming accessible to anyone with or without any music background. Our view is that anyone can experience the joy of group music-making through the djembe. It’s not about performance or perfection – it’s about community connection and fun!
For those who have been drumming for awhile, our Intermediate classes will challenge you to learn more complex rhythms, incorporate the dununs (bass drums), improve the clarity of your sounds, build speed and endurance, and develop soloing skills. Intermediate students are invited and encouraged to play dununs for any of our beginner classes, giving you multiple opporunties during the week to practice and to connect with others in our drumming community.

Interested in learning to play djembe but can't get to Decatur on a weeknight? Rhythm Synergy has drums and will travel. All it takes is a classroom space and a minimum of 5 people to start. So if you know of a yoga studio, community clubhouse, or other spot in your neighborhood that is appropriate for drum class, grab 5 friends and give Rhythym Synergy a call. And if you are the owner of a yoga or dance studio, or similar activity space and would like to add drumming to the programming at your studio, please contact us!
