“I started drumming with Vanessa Morgan of Durango Drums about a year ago. I have always been drawn to the sound of djembe’s out in the parks. I have often thought I am going to do that one day and I finally found a class and the time. The benefits from drumming were and still are very good for my emotional well-being. There is power within the rhythms of drumming. Most of the time I go into this alter-space when drumming which is hard to put in words. If you are a drummer, then you know what I mean. I can walk in to my class in a funky mood and leave feeling like I don’t have a care in the world. I hope to continue drumming because I love the rhythms and because it makes me happy. Thank you Vanessa!”
