A music meetup and jam with a focus on drums and percussion, the Kava Beats Drum Circle in Rome, Georgia is a casual non-facilitated bring-your-own-instrument circle. Drums and percussion instruments, flutes and didgeridoos welcomed. This pocket of drummers gather to share their joy of creating improvised rhythms and encourage musicians of all experience levels to join the beat. This circle meets on the sidewalk, in front of or near the Traveling Gypsies & Kava Den, and a few instruments and chairs are available to share if you don't have your own.
This was my first time joining in and this session with Kava Beats was a fun one. I played one of my favorite rhythm games with the group, layering multiple conversations over each other as I periodically shifted my focus collaborating with a different person every few minutes. The result was a pleasing journey in rhythm.

Note from the podcast owner:
As audio from circles is processed, no one handles source files except for the podcast owner. Side conversation, unrelated to music and instruments or performance art and props, is masked or deleted along with space between music and rhythm. What remains is cut and spliced together to make those deletions invisible. Audio levels are then balanced in post-process for easy listening. The purpose of this podcast is to highlight the essence and spread awareness of circle communities and their culture. All episodes were voluntarily produced without compensation and are maintained for free without ads on RedCircle. If this appears hosted on any other platform, it is without authorization from the podcast owner.
