Wednesdays 7:00 – 8:30 PM

Beginner djembe class, taught by Chuck Cogliandro, 7:00-8:30 pm. The current series began in May and continues June 18th and 25th. We are currently meeting at a private home in Candler Park, please email or call for location. Cost for any six-week series is $90, pre-paid by mailing a check to 'Kumandi Drums' at PO Box 003, Decatur GA, 30031-0003. You may also drop-in any class for $20. If you haven't been in class with me before you may attend the first class and just pay the drop-in fee if you decide you don't wish to do the entire series.

No prior drumming experience is necessary, and some loaner drums can be provided. Appropriate West African drums for the class are djembe, ashiko, and dunun. Drums may also be rented by special arrangement- just call or email me- with your rental fee accumulating as credit toward purchase. You should wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to do some simple stepping movement. It is recommended you bring a notebook or tape recorder to help study the rhythms between classes. Please contact Chuck prior to class, to arrange for loaner or rental drums, at chuck@kumandi.com Also visit www.kumandi.com, or call 404-577-6842 for more information.
