Rhythm Quest New Year's Drum Jam

Family-Friendly Community Drum Jam

Bothwell Arts Center

2466 8th St, Livermore, CA 94550

Sunday, January 3 · 1 PM - 2:30 PM

Start the new year with rhythm and community! Join Rhythm Quest for a family-friendly drum jam for all ages and abilities. This is an improvisational music-making jam lightly facilitated by Phil Didlake and friends. Follow along and share your sound, movement, and rhythm. No drumming background or music experience needed.

We'll meet at Bothwell Arts Center, weather depending: in the West End if it's rainy or cold, or outdoors in the park if it's sunny. We have chairs and drums available. Bring your own drum or instrument, or rent one of ours — all you have to do is show up and bring a friend! Bathrooms are available on-site — it's a good idea to bring your own drinks or anything else you'd need to stay comfortable.

Admission is FREE. Optional sliding-scale passes help keep the jam going: Single Pass ($10) for admission or drum rental, Full Pass ($20) for admission and drum rental, or Rhythm Keeper Pass ($40) for admission, drum rental and Rhythm Quest swag. You can also become a Patreon member, or volunteer to help with setup or cleanup — come early to lend a hand.

A big thank you to the Bankhead Theater for their continued support!
