We are Half of a Performance
Why This Matters
- The audience is rarely at a drum circle for the drummers; the audience is there for the dancers.
How You Achieve Success
The drummers and dancers are each two halves of the performance. If the dancers can't dance to what we drummers are playing, it's a failure. Decide the rhythms and tempos that the dancers need.
What You Do
We support the dancers:
- We play the rhythms to which they can dance.
- We play those rhythms at the tempos that work for them.
- We keep the group of the drummers together.
