Monthly Frame Drum Group

Come join our FREE Frame Drumming Group! Frame drumming has a rich and ancient history, dating back to at least 2380 BCE in Mesopotamia. It is one of the oldest percussion instruments and has been used in music, ritual, and spiritual ceremonies across diverse cultures and regions.

In our monthly group, everyone can enjoy playing Arabic drumming along with familiar chants and stepping. It’s easy to learn and fun to play the techniques and rhythmic patterns of frame drumming. Bring your own frame drum or use one of Caron's Remo Frame Drums. We will also enjoy playing multiple Arabic instruments such as the Daff, Katim, Sagats, and a variety of Tars. All ages and abilities are welcome!
