Hal Blaine, drummer for the wrecking crew, more hits than any other drummer. Rocking til 90 years old. Thanks for the Grooves, Hal.

We have been at this location for 34 years and have been conducting drumming meditation workshops for 32 years, plus private drumming lessons/therapy sessions by appointment. This has proven to be a popular and beneficial community service and we are proud to still offer this hands- on experience to whomever is willing to sit down and just feel a groove. It is interactive; everyone hits a drum. It is not loud or aggressive- but it swings! You are always welcome.

Drumming as a judicious use of force: The moderation of extremes. Its not all or nothing. Its a progression. Reinstalling our natural sense of rhythm and dynamics. Its okay to play softly. Being aware, applying only the amount of force that is necessary. Conscious of your own action’s impacts. Medium force for a good note but rise quickly so as not to waste the tonal vibration, but stay very close to the head, hover, “listening through your hands” as they absorb the deep tone up into the acupuncture meridians all the way into the organs those meridians are connected to and giving yourself an internal rhythmic vibration massage. The massage is the message..
