Simone LaDrumma has been composing and performing on hand drums since 1987. She has studied many different styles of drumming including Afro-Cuban, West African and Middle Eastern, and drumset. Simone was founder and Director of Ladies Don’t Drum, an all-female percussion ensemble. In 1991 Simone created “Drumming & The Holistic Expression of Rhythm,” a simple and joyous method of learning to play hand drums.
Over the years, Simone has brought the magic of rhythmic expression to thousands of people of all ages, genders and skill levels across the U.S., Canada and Europe, both as a teacher and as a performer. Simone’s entertaining and effective teaching style is perfect for the “raw beginner†with no musical background, as well as those with more experience. For more information, see her web site
