I started BDC because I wanted to build a community around drumming. Even though I'm a professional musician, I've always loved playing with anyone who enjoyed making in-the-moment music with others as much as I did. The purpose of the group is to build community, make in the moment music and share rhythm and dance based events. You should join us if this appeals to you. Your level of drumming is of no consequence. Just bring an attitude of awareness. Keep groovin', Brian

Hi Folks ... Instead of creating our usual grooves that intermingle on the drums, we will do the same, but with our voices in a very playful, intuitive and spontaneous way, improvised on the spot. Much of this exploration will be influenced on work I have done with Bobby McFerrin, who created his Circle Songs method. Quoting McFerrin ... "It's primal, unadorned singing. I've always felt that singing a song without words makes one song a thousand songs because the people who hear it can bring th …
