:: Does everyone have to pay? ::
DRUMSTRONG is FREE! Drummers, observers, …. even many of our volunteers, staff & artists are moved to contribute.
:: Do I have to drum for the entire event? ::
No, you don’t have to drum for hours continuously – there WILL be continuous rhythm happening, but not necessarily from any one source. You have the whole Drum Circle timeframe to play within to satisfy your personal pledge goals. We would love for any Teams to coordinate ’round the clock drummin’ so there is always Team representation through members playing.
:: What if I don’t have a drum? ::
There are drums and percussion (and fun stuff to bang) everywhere and available to borrow. We have some pretty cool drums available for purchase. Small, fun percussion instruments and hand drums. Some of our quality artisans will have a variety of drums for $5. to $375. for sale. Or bring yours.
If you bring your own, we recommend hand percussion (consider the weather for wood & skins) – we drum rain or SHINE!
:: Does DRUMSTRONG go on rain or SHINE? ::
YEP, (We have Big Tents!)
The Drum Circle is under a monster Tent. It provides shelter for hundreds of drummers. We’ll also have some rain protection (plastic ponchos). Hey, it’s only water! We’ve all dealt with greater challenges in our lives…
:: Will I get fed? ::
Oh Yeah! Some of the best Festival Foods on the Planet will serve your palate. Sugar Shack, Food Trucks, Pizza & Pastries! Most Dietary Directions, Interests and ..’ivores will be satisfied.
:: OnSite Merchandise ::

:: Can I bring my dog (cat, aardvark…)? ::
We love our furry friends but they’ll need to patiently wait till you’re done drumming and return home. There are a lot of animals on the Misty Meadows Farm property and the owners require us to not bring out more. (though your aardvark could be useful eating any of those pesky fireants…)
