Drumdala is an audio-visual performance group specializing in a fusion of tribal, modern dance, cinematic and meditative styles.  It is based around a large, unique instrument designed and built by Richard Sherwood called The Drumdala- mandala of drums.  This instrument is a blend of acoustic and tonal electronic drums that can loop and layer a vast array of powerful and beautiful sounds. Richard has toured the world as a percussionist and an instructor.  His playing style comes from many places including African, Indian, Japanese, and Middle Eastern drumming traditions, modern dance music, and good old rock 'n' roll.
