Description
East Ham Drummers is a resident-led, intergenerational drumming ensemble for families and community members. The group will offer a welcoming and accessible space for people to come together to play drums. Through collaborating, connecting, and creating, the ensemble will generate new beats and relationships.
The music created will be inspired by members of the ensemble and will be performed for the community at local cultural events. Drumming as a collective supports people to feel a sense of wellbeing and belonging while creating new rhythms offers an exhilarating and enjoyable opportunity to share ideas and make music together.
Sessions are open to all, with no musical experience necessary.
Sessions will be led by project partners Drum Works, with residents taking the lead with the direction and organisation of the ensemble. The long-term aim is to develop an integrated, enduring and sustainable community drumming ensemble open to everyone in East Ham.
