One-off group drumming session led by Asta Plays where all instruments are provided and no experience is needed.
Asta#Plays is leading a community drum circle at Salisbury Arts Centre on Friday 29 January, starting at 6:30pm. It's a one-off group session, so if you've never picked up a drum before, this is a good place to start. You don't need any musical or drumming experience to take part, and you don't need to bring your own kit — all instruments are provided on the night.
As for what actually happens: the session is led by Asta#Plays, an experienced musician and teacher who guides the group to build rhythms together. It's not about following a strict score or playing a specific song; instead, you'll be engaging in musical communication and responding to cues, with the music emerging spontaneously from the group. It's a collaborative way of making music, where the sound comes from everyone playing together rather than from a single lead.
Beyond the drumming itself, the session is framed as a welcoming way to connect with others, boost wellbeing and relieve stress through shared group drumming. If you're looking for something to do on a Friday evening that's more about joining in than just watching, this fits the bill. It's a one-off session, so it's a standalone event rather than the start of a regular class.
