Drum circle is under sycamore trees by the creek. It is from 12-2 pm on the first Sunday of each month and is FREE to the public. Djembe technique is the focus, but all drums are able to participate. This drum circle is a balance of intensive instruction and free-form rhythmical expression. Gather on the strip of grass on the ocean side of Cabrillo Blvd. , across from Chase Palm Park .
People dance, tourists shoot video and drummer groove.
When daylight savings time goes into effect, the circle starts an hour earlier, around 4 pm. This circle used to be on Sundays. It's been going for at least 10 years. I've seen anywhere between 15 to 40 people drumming. With dancers and other people that hang around, there's usually quite a good sized crowd there.
