Bring on The Drums: Virtual Drum Making Workshop

Saturday, July 25
4-5 p.m.

Learn how to make your very own table drum! Bring on the Drums is a project created by Jahi of Microphone Mechanics. With simple tools, a “table drum” is created.
The process includes personal power words that represent who you are as a part of the design, you get a creative history of the power of drums as a form of communication, and learn rhythm, listening skills and cooperation. The ‘table drum” is a legacy instrument which can be passed down from one generation to another. Hosted by Jahi.
Host: Jahi of Microphone Mechanics is an accomplished international artist, lecturer, and educational consultant based in Oakland, California. Jahi has been making drums since 1989 as an educational tool and legacy instrument.
Thank you to the Chabot Space and Science Center & The Cultural Arts Funding from the City of Oakland who provided a grant to Microphone Mechanics to provide free drums to the Oakland community. All available free drum kits have been claimed, but we still encourage you to tune in to learn more about this incredible instrument.
Free drum kits will be available for pick up on Wednesday, July 29th between 12pm-3pm from the front entrance of Chabot Space & Science Center. We will have no-contact pick up with names displayed on packages, and safe social distancing measures to ensure your safety.
