WE AT WULA DRUM BELIEVE THAT DRUMMING IS A WAY TO HELP BREAK DOWN BARRIERS OF RACISM AND CLASSISM. FROM THE LANGUAGES OF THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA AND ITS DIASPORA, DRUMMING IS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION AND EXPRESSION. THE TRANSMISSION OF KNOWLEDGE IS FROM PERSON TO PERSON. WE LEARN ABOUT ‘OTHERS’ AND IN TURN, REFLECTIVELY, ABOUT ‘OURSELVES.’ THIS IS WHAT BRINGS US CLOSER - SHARING THE MOMENT IN MUSIC. WE NEED TO LISTEN, COMMUNICATE AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE BLACK COMMUNITIES: LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND GLOBALLY. WE MUST TRANSFORM OUR SOCIETY TO BECOME ONE THAT IS FAIR AND JUST TO ITS PEOPLE OF COLOR. WE CANNOT LOOK THE OTHER WAY ANYMORE. NOW IS THE TIME.
#BLACKLIVESMATTER
During this challenging time, we understand the importance of helping one another - a true community. We are helping by making our drums more accessible. To represent the importance of playing drums every day of the year (365 days), we have lowered drum prices to $365 each: a dollar a day.
We ask for your support as well:
Buy a drum to practice
Buy one for each member of your family.
Order a drum to be directly shipped to a friend or loved one.
Drumming helps us be mindful, in the moment, focused and relaxed.
