Everybody Drum Some founder Ross Lester said he was so pleased and inspired by the June community rhythm event at Old Fort Park that he wanted to continue the series.
Those who would like to join their neighbors in some drumming can plan to do so the third Friday of each month at least through October 2022 at Old Fort Park.
The next session will kick off at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 15.
“The slightly earlier time will allow for slightly earlier sunsets [through October],” Lester said.
The vibe and enthusiasm at the June event motivated event originator Lester to commit to a consistent schedule of leading the community in some drumming.
“This looks to be the next chapter in cultivating a community of rhythm here in our beloved ’Boro,” Lester said. “Let’s jam!”
The July 2022 Everybody Drum Some Summer Community Rhythm Event kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday, July 15, at Old Fort Park in Murfreesboro between the playground and outdoor tennis courts.
In the event of rain, Lester plans to move the sessions to the fellowship hall of St Patrick’s Anglican Church, 7103 Baker Rd., Murfreesboro. Check the Everybody Drum Some Facebook page or text or call Lester at 615-631-7458 for updates.
There is no cost to participate in the community rhythm sessions, and people of all ages are invited to come join the drumming or to spectate. Participants can bring drums, shakers, tambourines, wood blocks or percussive instruments of any type, but even those who have no instrument may come out and use one from the extensive Everybody Drum Some collection.
