Beaufort Drum Circle
More than a dozen folks with little to no musical training formed the Beaufort Drum Circle recently. They meet twice a month at Universalist Church on Lady's Island to bang on drums, chimes, bells, sticks...anything to bang together to create a surprisingly mellow sound. They don't know how it happens, it just does. "And it's absolutely free", according to one of the organizers Lanny Kraus. "All you need is a heart beat".
So, if you want to bang on your drum or just want to just clang something together, call Kraus at (843) 441-0169 for more information.
