About this event

Music • Alternative

If you have enjoyed the drumming at XR actions and always fancied having a go, we will be running a special session for newcomers in October in Oxford - all are welcome!

You will be joining in with a long tradition of samba-fusion drumming at street protests, and joining a national network of XR Rhythms UK bands.

We can supply you with instruments but please bring a rucksack or similar to use as a drum strap. If you have instruments (drums, tamborims, agogos, shakers) then you are very welcome to bring them.

Please bring ear protection, e.g. ear defenders, ear plugs.

Be Covid-safe: don't attend if you are showing any symptoms.

The event is free but donations are welcome.

All the rhythms and breaks can be found on the XR Rhythms Player: https://player.xrrhythms.uk/#/
