Bring on the Drums: Drum Making Workshop with Microphone Mechanics

Design it, build it, learn rhythms, build community, and most importantly take your drum home.

Bring on the Drums is an intergenerational experience where participants get to make their own table drum, a creation of Microphone Mechanics. Learn some history about drumming, design it based on words that represent you, and learn rhythms and new ways to collaborate with others in music. All participants get to take their drum home as a legacy instrument. Recommended for ages 7 -107.

Host Jahi of Microphone Mechanics is an accomplished international artist, lecturer, and educational consultant based in Oakland, California. Jahi has been making drums since 1989 as an educational tool and legacy instrument.
