Livermore Drum Circle
Building friendships and strengthening community since 2009
Join the Livermore Drum Circle, a vibrant, monthly community gathering hosted by Rhythm Quest and facilitated by Phil Didlake, MT-BC. Established in 2009, this free event welcomes everyone to drum, dance, and co-create music together.
The Livermore Drum Circle is not a music performance. Everyone is welcome to play and share their expression through improvisation. This is a grassroots community-sponsored event made possible by the generous support of our Patreon subscribers, grants, and donations from people like YOU!
The quest began in 2009 when Phil Didlake and friends started a weekly drum circle at a Tex-Mex restaurant known as Los Vaqueros Grill.
In 2011, it moved downtown in front of the Bankhead Theater, where it became more community-focused.
From 2014-2017, the drum circle met less frequently due to Phil's studies in Boston, however, it resumed almost every month since his return in 2018.
In April 2020, Phil moved the drum circle to Zoom, connecting people globally and locally.
In April 2021, the drum circle resumed in-person, continuing to meet monthly as a free community event.
