Circle of Rhythm drum up an East Coast storm

In January and February 2009 — with the support of the Contemporary Music Touring Program — Circle of Rhythm will bring their unique blend of tuned percussion to Australia's East Coast.

Circle of Rhythm is a truly individual rhythmic collaboration. Known for defining and redefining what Australian drumming can offer the world, Greg Sheehan, Bobby Singh and Ben Walsh have formed a percussion trio with a difference, rich in culture from the various styles all three dynamic performers have spent their lives exploring. Drawing from their experience collaborating in acts like The Bird, Pablo Percusso, Skin and Dha.

Their show is a homage to multicultural Australia, borrowing rhythms and melding a collection of drum styles, both unique and rich in ancient tradition. Expect a powerhouse of razor-sharp, precision beats and drumming of the highest order delivered with a relaxed, and often humorous, Australian approach.

From the high energy, fast-paced drumming styles of Japan and Polynesia, to the ethereal and spiritually uplifting sounds of India, this ensemble boasts a full spectrum of styles and instrumentation that will delight your senses. Melodic and rhythmic, you can count on all things percussed with dexterity, each member having dedicated their life to the study of the drum.

Circle of Rhythm will make you laugh, share their stories, and most definitely leave you breathless… expect nothing less than standing ovations.
