Event Description
Drumming is good for your health and will make you happier. Rhythms at Home will introduce you to drumming. You will need drumsticks and a practice pad to get started. If you don’t have a practice pad you can learn like Dave Grohl did on cushions. You will learn how to drum in a fun and relaxing group environment.
Research has shown that the art of drumming is helping to improve mental and physical health.
Some of the health benefits include:
- Enhances well-being
- Lowers blood pressure
- Neutralizes stress
- Boosts cardio
- Increases Energy
- Improves Circulation
- Burns Calories
- Relieves Depression
Join us and drum together, with Rhythms at Home.

Practice Pad (I recommend a 12-Inch pad but you can use magazines or cushions too)
- Duration: 30 mins
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
Meet the Host, James
James Ryan has been teaching drums to students from all over the world since 2006. Some of his students have gone on to successfully complete Trinity Guildhall Grade 8 on Drum Kit, study at the Manhattan School of Music, The Academy of Contemporary Music, BIMM Bristol and BIMM London. James has worked professionally, in theatre and producing music for TV and film. He has studied rhythms of the world such as Brazilian and African drumming, body percussion, and created group online lessons. His classes are dynamic, engaging, educational, and most importantly fun! A passionate and enthusiastic teacher, James is keen to share his drumming knowledge and promote the benefits of group drumming.
Preparing for the Event
For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).
We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
More Information
What if I can’t make the event?
If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.
Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?
Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.
How do I watch the live event?
Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.
How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)
Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
