About Us
Drumming and percussion for women
DGAS was group of women who made music with djembés (African hand drums) and other percussion instruments. We ran drumming afternoons and evenings for women who was interested in learning more about rhythm or just want to hit that groove for a while. We also held an annual weekend camp in Norfolk where we hosted three solid days of women only drumming workshops and other activities.
How did we get started?
In 2003 a group of friends decided to form DGAS and pay a weekly subscription so that we could hold workshops for other women interested in drumming. We held our own beginners' workshops and later invited respected tutors to run workshops on our behalf for more experienced drummers. With the help of Awards for All lottery funding and Norfolk County Council we were able to buy instruments so they could be used at workshops by those who did not have their own.
