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 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.

S1E32 - 1h 30m - Jun 12, 2026 - 2026.06.06 Kava Beats Drum Circle
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.
