Highlights from one of our monthly community drum circles at Pune Handmade Papers. It's a space for joy, rhythm, and connection, open to everyone in the city.
A full house at our community event. We are always so grateful for the wonderful people who come out to share their energy and create music with us. This is what community feels like.
Even with a smaller group, the connection is deep. These sessions allow for more personal interaction and a chance to really connect with the rhythm and each other.
Watch how a simple groove builds into something more intricate and groovy. Our community sessions are all about in the moment music making and collective creation.
"Relaxing, energetic, healing, rejuvenating." We asked participants how they felt after a drum circle, and their words capture the transformative power of these sessions.
We often start our community events with an introductory djembe workshop before flowing into the main drum circle. This gives newcomers a chance to learn the basic techniques in a supportive environment.

The sun is shining and the rhythm is flowing. Our community sessions are a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning, connecting with music and new friends.

About Community Drum Circles
You do not need to be a musician to join these sessions. I provide the West African Djembes, and I guide you through the basics so that within minutes, you are part of the collective rhythm. It is less about musical performance and more about letting go, laughing, and shaking off the week with a group of locals. Whether you are looking for a creative outlet or a way to de-stress, just show up as you are.
What Happens at a Circle
We host these gatherings regularly at local spaces like Pune Handmade Papers. We start with a brief workshop to get everyone comfortable with basic Djembe techniques, then transition into a free-flowing drum circle. This is not a concert or a lecture. It is a space for healing, venting stress, and real community connection.
Why Join Us
My guru, Mamady Keïta, taught us that the Djembe has no borders. That philosophy is the foundation of every circle we run. If you have been feeling the urge to get out of your head and into your body, this is where it happens. We use rhythm as a tool for catharsis, joy, and collective energy.
Who Is This For
Everyone. We see kids, elders, and total strangers grooving together every single month. You might come in feeling shy, but you will leave with a smile.
- No Skill Needed: We teach you everything on the spot.
- Instruments Provided: We bring the drums, so you do not need to own one.
- Inclusive Vibe: A judgment-free zone where we prioritize 'Wassa Wassa' (Happy Happy) over perfection.
Come by yourself or bring your friends. It is simple, it is loud, and it is a blast.
