🎢 About Drum Works

Drum Works uses drumming as a tool to inspire creativity, build social cohesion and empower young people to direct their own futures. Around 500 people take part every week through five partner schools in east London, a community programme in Newham and two progression ensembles. All musical material is written collectively by participants and has a fresh, original sound distinctive to our east London community. Through collaborative music-making we develop participants’ confidence, break down social barriers and build a supportive community where everyone can thrive.
