DRUM CIRCLE ETIQUETTE
*** General etiquette ***1.
Once you've attended and explored some drum circles, and know that you enjoy them, consider bringing an rhythm instrument of your own - drum (doumbek, djembe, congas, bongos, frame drum, etc.) - or rhythm accessory (like a tambourine, etc.). Rhythm instruments that make sharp, penetrating sounds (like claves, wood blocks, triangles, cow bells, etc.) are best left for more experienced drummers since they are so audible.Ask experienced drummers for advice if you're going to buy a drum. And find a portable seat - such as a simple camp stool - in the sporting-goods or furniture departments of stores like Wal-Mart. Consider bringing a towel to put on the ground - outdoors it protects the bottom of your drum from dirt and moisture and mold; indoors it protects the floor.
