"Rhythm Planet Workshop is a weekend of a global exploration of instruments, rhythms and drumming techniques. But most importantly, it is an an eclectic overview of the universal principles that make a drum circle, rhythm event or musical event work. How can you guide your participants to the best music they can make together if you don't have the kind of knowledge of "Musicality" that Dave and Jonathan are going to present in Atlanta or Baltimore?"
