Everybody Loves To Drum


Beat! beat! drums!
Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force...Into the school where the scholar is studying...Over the traffic of cities—over the rumble of wheels in the streets...Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? no sleepers must sleep in those beds...Make no parley—stop for no expostulation...Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the hearses.    
 (from Walt Whitman)

Let 'er Rip.








There's always great teachers to help you learn 
the beat, and good company to make it all fun.





Don't miss a beat. We'll see you at 
Winter Count 20
February 9-14, 2014.
