RDC is a community in rhythm!

We are dedicated to using the universal language of percussive music and dance for creative self-expression. In doing so, we encourage cultural awareness, embrace diversity, and promote harmony and community through rhythm.

No experience is necessary

Everyone has something to offer the circle and all are welcome. We offer a family-friendly drum circle and flow jam for all ages and abilities. Feel free to drop by and play.

100 Soundscapes of North Carolina

In the Fall of 2024, Kyle Raub, owner of Eiravaein Works LLC visited our drum circle during our Birthday Bash to make recordings for his project, 100 Soundscapes of North Carolina. They are available for your listening pleasure. The drum circle is “Location #67”. Click here to listen and enjoy!

At our Birthday Bash in Fall 2022, we were fortunate to have a videographer stop by and film most of the featured performances and the evening’s jam. Check out this amazing piece created by Sampson Mchalongo of Bananaland Media.
