Drummed Up

Newcastle upon Tyne

Drummed Up is a West African drumming group based in the Newcastle upon Tyne dedicated to playing drums and percussion. We are based at the Newcastle Music Service building at 41 Jesmond Vale, for directions use this map.

From 6.30pm until 8.20pm we have the taught session, (people arriving early usually gather in the Blue Bell pub, opposite Nr.41) Newcomers are welcomed and are taught enough to join in immediately. The performance rehearsal period starts at 8.40 (beginners welcome to stay to observe only)

Drummed Up currently have quite a large collection of West African Djembe drums and percussion, so there's always something for you to play, or you can bring your own instruments.

We meet simply to share the experience of drumming together, and we hope to share this experience with audiences. Please contact the group to find out more.
