Intermediate West African Drumming is an energizing class for drummers ready to level up their skills and dive into more complex rhythms at a quicker pace of instruction. This class is perfect for anyone looking to challenge themselves, build endurance, and experience the joy of making music together in a high-energy, supportive environment.

We’ll meet on Thursdays from 7:00–8:30 PM at Christ Lutheran Church in Marine on St. Croix on November 5, 12, 19, December 3 and 10, 2026. Come ready to move, listen deeply, and feel the rhythm take hold.

Students who have prior West African drumming experience from other institutions are also welcome to attend the Thursday evening classes, though it is strongly recommended that they first attend a few Friday classes to see if the Intermediate level would be a good fit.
