Drumming At Griffis Sculpture Park | 08.14.07

I returned to the southern tier of NY state again tonight to participate in a drum circle/workshop at Griffis Sculpture Park in Ellicotville, NY. It was the the perfect evening and venue for drumming with over 20 drummers of all ages participating in a truely one of a kind event.

This was my first visit to Griffis Sclupture Park and I was blown away by this slice of heaven tucked away in Western NY. Simon Griffis, Executive Director of the Ashford Hollow Foundation hosted the event with the help of T.R. McKotch, Rhonda Harp, & Doug Sitler whose drumming expertise blended the structure of a workshop with the free form environment of a drum circle where experienced drummers and new comers came together to explore tribal drumming at it’s finest.

This this event in as many months capped a very successful summer of drumming sessions at Griffis Sculpture Park. Below are a couple of pics that I took of event. For pictures of previous events and information on the Griffis Sculpture Park check out their official website at www.griffispark.org.
