Three Steps to Start Drumming

Begin your journey into West African rhythm. No experience needed — just show up ready to hit something.

Show Up & Feel the Beat

Your first class is free. Bring your drum or rent on the spot. You bring energy, curiosity, and clothes you don't mind sweating in. We'll teach you the basics, the first rhythms, and how to play in a group.

Learn Dundun & Djembe

Unlike most schools that only teach Djembe, we also teach Dunduns, the bass drums, from day one. They are the heartbeat. Djembe is the fire on top. Together, they tell the full story of West African percussion.

Sweat, Smile & Repeat

This is basically sports. You'll work hard, get calluses, and go home with your hands buzzing. But you'll also feel energised, grounded, and part of something bigger than yourself.

Why Bush Taxi Is Different

Most schools teach Djembe and call it a day. We also teach Dunduns. Because in West Africa, these instruments are almost never played separate.

01

Learn Dundun & Djembe

Dundun provides the deep bass heartbeat. Djembe adds the melody and fire. Culturally and traditionally, they cannot live without each other — and neither should your learning. We teach both from your very first class.

Rooted in West African Tradition

This music is played daily for baptisms, weddings, funerals, harvest festivals, and coming-of-age ceremonies. It's not a hobby — it's a living culture. We respect the tradition while making it accessible to everyone.

Sweat, Drum & Feel Alive

Drumming is probably the only instrument you can hit as hard as you want and you won't break it. It's physical. It's cathartic. It's a full-body workout that leaves you energised, grounded, and grinning.
