Our Story

The Community Spirit Drumming program was started by Eamon Carrick from Claddagh, Galway in 2011.

Eamon has always loved Rhythm and Drumming. He conducted research in relation to music therapy while studying for his Hons Degree in Social Studies & Social Care back in 2007.

“There is more to it than just drumming for me. It’s not about being the loudest, fastest or greatest drummer in the group. For me it’s about taking part (participation) – Having fun – Meeting new people – Making friends – Learning various beats and rhythms – Socializing – Chatting over a cuppa – Getting involved – Singing & Chanting – Dancing – Putting the rhythms together and experiencing the magic.”

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower participants in the learning of drumming, dancing and playing various percussion instruments, and encourage expression of the true self without criticism. Our purpose is to provide a social space in the community for people to come together and enjoy the magic of the drum circle. The Community Spirit Drumming is guiding by principles such as; Participation, Inclusion, Equality, Encouragement, Respect, Individualism and work as part of a team.

Client Testimonials

Was my first time attending a drumming class/circle & I had so much fun!!! Eamon is a good teacher. Found it easy to follow his instruction, he let us just rip & have fun. We even sounded good for a bunch of random strangers coming together through the love of the drum. Will definitely do it again & I highly recommend it to anyone even if you’ve never touched a drum in your life.
