Our History
Drums are thought to be one of the oldest form of musical instrument known to humankind. So old, truth be told, that scientists from the National Academy of Science have said that drumming is vital to our species; different primates also communicate by drumming. It may in all likelihood be something we as humans have evolved to do.
In various forms, the art of drumming has likewise turned into an indispensable part of societies all over the world, from East Asian war drumming to the talking drums of Sri Lanka and the djembe of West Africa. These instruments are universal in nature, being deeply tied to our humanity.
DrumConnection connects students with a very specific part of our human heritage: the djembe drum music of Guinea. Guinea is a little country on the west shoreline of Africa, yet it has a large presence on the world stage. We offer an exciting, healing and unique experience of the rhythms of the continent.
Everything started about 30 years ago in Arlington, Mass. As a facilitator, I was asked to organize drummers so people new to drumming could get along, as loud drums were not playing well with tiny, quiet drums.
The school officially became DrumConnection (a term and name coined by a good friend) in 1990 as part of The Cambridge Center of Adult Education, a prominent adult education school founded in 1886 and now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
In the beginning, it was just a few classes that I taught, but their popularity led to the program's expansion. Today, we are the largest hand drumming school in New England. We have a teacher training program and 15 amazing instructors. For the last 24 years, our teaching studio has also been at The Arlington Center for the Arts on Foster Street in Arlington, which is a great place to learn art, music, drama and life lessons.
Our program is unique because we are able to bring in true hand drumming masters such as Famoudou Konate, Mamady Keita, Bolokada Conde, Wadaba and many others who share their cultures, rhythms and lore with students. Students are also given the chance to visit Guinea, the birthplace of the djembe drum. ''
Our Roots…
• Alan Tauber, the founder of DrumConnection began drumming at the age of the 4. From marching band to jazz to pop, rock, folk, power punk, fusion and classical percussion he was drawn to the west African djembe 35 years ago. The list of the famous drummers he had the pleasure to study and play with is a who’s who in the drumming world. Stars from the Rock world, like Carmine Apice to jazz legends Gary Burton, Fred Buda, Alan Dawson, Vic Firth, Joe Morello, Alphonse Mouzon and the great Buddy Rich. In African music Alan has spent much time and befriended Ibrahima Camara, Abdoulaye Sylla, Babatunde Olatunji, Mamady Keita, ‘Wadaba', Bolokada Kondé, Babara Bangoura, and his current master the only living legend of the djembe and dunun, Famoudou Konaté.cisions
• That said, it takes a sensitive musician to bring music to life and Alan has proved over and over again that he knows what makes a great teacher, a great performer and a steady accompaniment player as well as soloist. His own limitations physically due to the hard demands of the djembe has enlightened Alan to consult with students and doctors alike about best treatment options and playing techniques he has developed and honed for older djembe players. “As you age, you must be sure you know what you are really doing on that djembe or those dunun or you will get hurt. It’s similar to a sport which is very enriching and fun but if you fall or don’t take rest days, you may pay for that later. Better to learn a solid skill set first.
• Alan developed the Teacher in Training Course for people who like to teach but also for those who what to develop their playing at a very fast rate. If you have to teach it, you will learn it. If your sounds are not pure, your students will not understand what you are playing so it makes your sounds pure. It’s a great way to become involved with West African drumming and get really good and give to the community. Most communities need a good dose of drumming. Read his website of all the benefits of drumming for the general population at www.drumconnection.com
They have the opportunity to travel annually to study drumming, language, dance and culture from the Guineans. Due to sickness and fear, this year's trip to Africa moved to The Gambia with Grandmaster Famoudou Konate himself, the last living, working master from his generation. Possibly the last chance students have to learn from him.
DrumConnection's long-standing history of bridging cultures through music is still going strong.
Our success has had a lot to do with being able to see what each student needed from a drum course. What were the things that we could do to make their understanding and musical ability flourish? I was with filled rooms of future drummers and I needed to be able to reach everybody. Since I am naturally gifted with seeing too much, it was my passion to help every person attain their goals.

Karen G.
I just bought my djembe from Alan yesterday so I'm really excited to play it again after the rain stops. (I like to play outside). I researched many places all across the US and tried Amazon and djembe makers in Pakistan. I found out that the sound of the djembe is 'boingy' if it wasn't carved in Africa. (My first 2 were from Pakistan though Amazon and another company didn't want to tell me that!) Anyway, huge difference to get a dry, solid African sounding djembe. Thank you!
Sara F.
I had my djembe re-headed with a goat skin by DrumConnection and it never sounded anything like this! I can't stop playing it. I didn't know so much of the value of a djembe was in how it was made with all the ropes and tensioning and a super high quality skin, tuned perfectly. I really can't stop playing my 'new' djembe :) Just to add that I wasn't a very good player before but now I play so much and so easily, I am so happy with this! Thanks Alan!
Doris G.
I was so impressed with the prompt delivery of a beautiful djembe to on of my teachers of spiritual mindfulness; he LOVED it! They selected the best djembe they had and shipped it to me in 2 days. It was a huge hit with my teacher. They also supplied us with all the care of the djembe tip sheet and how to tune the djembe video, which is very helpful. Good communication and perfect follow-thru.
Marcia F.
I recently purchased a djembe drum from DrumConnection and am now taking lessons with him. He was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the drums and taught me things I never knew I never knew about buying a drum. His classes are fun and engaging and he goes above and beyond the call of duty in helping us to learn and know about the history and origins of this sort of drumming, It has been in great addition to life particularly during Covid.

Excellent and knowledgeable instructors, classes that balance learning rhythms and technique accurately and having fun playing together, great people and community! Alan Tauber is an experienced teacher and drummer who has learned from the best players and djembe masters on the planet, and is happy to share his knowledge with students. I recommend Alan and DrumConnection highly!
Adam J. M.
When my son, who is now at Berklee, was in grammar school he studied djembe with Alan and I was so impressed with Alan’s kind and fun manner of presenting complex rhythms. I later studied conga with Alan and one of his top notch teachers. The material was challenging but so satisfying. We also own a beautiful djembe we got from Alan. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
Terri M.
Learning the Drum at The Drum Connection is the best and most genuine experience around. I highly recommend The Drum Connection to anyone who is interested in learning how to play the African drum and all it has to offer.
Dalena T.
I bought an insanely beautiful, well-crafted, high quality djembe off Alan a couple months ago. It took me about two hours to finalize my decision but he never once rushed me. Felt like I was just chilling with an old pal. Made me laugh a lot! He’s got an off-beat but refreshing sense of humor. To top it off he also gave me a WONDERFUL deal on the drum! I also began taking classes with him, he’s fun, engaging, and so lighthearted! Throughout the class he makes sure everyone is on the same page.. And he KNOWS HIS STUFF. Thank you Alan for all you do and provide. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
Joshua M.
I have taken lots of classes with Drum Connection teachers and Alan Tauber. His classes are always fun and I have learned a lot about playing Djembe and the traditions and melodies surrounding the instrument. In addition to his own classes, I have taken classes and workshops with other teachers he brings in occasionally - they are always great. And just as important, his students are always supportive of one another - the general feeling is that everyone was a beginner once and everyone helps each other if they can.

I was welcomed with open arms, and having only touched a drum once before, had no idea what to do. I walked in off the street and immediately John Tracy sat with me and taught me a simple rhythm. I ended up taking a series of lessons with Alan Tauber, and joining a number of drum circles. I loved being welcomed into the community .. to this day, I drum with people from the DrumConnection. The gentle and experienced people there are enthusiastically committed to teaching all levels of drumming.
Jenna M.
Alan’s enthusiasm for drum playing is infectious! He shares his warm heart, patience, and talents with all students.

Coming in as a novice, it could have been intimidating. It was the opposite! Warm and welcoming! Alan has such patience and skill in helping me get to the next stage in drumming! Such a blast doing outdoor classes! And always enjoyed the camaraderie with my fellow students.
I went for my first drumming class yesterday. Alan and Nancy met me with a big smile and created such a loving and caring atmosphere making me feel really comfortable and accepted. I have no musical experience and was really worried of how the class would flow. They were just amazing. I don't have enough words to express how magical the class was. I can't wait to go back and I have been telling all my friends about drumming. It's the best therapy for your mind and soul!!!

This is a great class taught by remarkable drummer and gifted teacher, Alan Tauber! It’s something I just want to share with everyone, so much fun and such a wonderful way to connect with other people in a deep, uplifting musical way. You will feel supported and uplifted at the same time as you learn to play the hand drums with others who learn and play along with you! A very, very special experience awaits all who take this class. You will not be disappointed. If I could, I would give this class as a gift to everyone I know!

They have professional djembes and dunun . They also sponsor local drum circles and have drum classes with the very talented owner as well as master drummers from around the globe. They also offer a wide variety of CD's. One of the best shops ever!

I was thrilled to find that this store doesn't just have hand drums, but is also well-stocked with hardware and parts for rock drum kits. And if they don't stock something you need, they'll order it for you or point you in the right direction.
Alan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful if I have questions or need advice. When I came in last year wanting to restore my vintage kit, I had no idea where to start, and Alan helped me through the entire process, from cleaning, de-rusting, to finding missing parts. Whenever I have a problem with my kit or something breaks, I always go to Alan first (it's a good idea to call the store to see when he's working!) Often he'll find a way to fix it without having to purchase new parts.
Definitely recommend this gem over bigger places like Guitar Center.

I needed to replace the head on a djembe. I live on the south shore of MA, and was having a hard time finding a place to do the job. I discovered the DrumConnection through a list serve and found the best resource I could hope for. Alan's knowledge is vast, and the service was done professionally, on time, and at a reasonable price. I do not need to look any further for my hand drumming needs.

Thank you Alan, Thierno, Audrey, Issa and Moussa!
At DrumConnection, I began my beginners' class feeling lost and insecure. However, while the drum is quite challenging, I have felt more and more connected to the group thanks to the wonderful teachers, and the kindness and acceptance of other drummers.
In other words I am deeply indebted and grateful for the opportunity to expand my skills, horizons, and sense of belonging thanks to the drum. The ongoing learning experience is challenging, exhilarating and humbling. Thank you Alan, Thierno, Audrey, Issa and Moussa, and thank you to all my fellow students!

Alan the owner is always friendly and helpful. When I was looking for a drum, he chose 4 drums he thought I might like, each unique. He helped me sort out the differences to find the combination of pluses that added up to the perfect drum for me.
Alan the teacher is a non-judgmental, supportive, and clear instructor whose decades of experience and amazing skill as a drummer combine to provide a safe and inspiring learning environment. I've studied with four other DrumConnection instructors and each is excellent in his or her own ways, and all certified by examination.
A great store and a wonderful school. I recommend it without reservations.

The beginner drum class was extra special. Taught by Thierno Keita-what a wonderful escape each week from the work-a-day world into a world of rhythm and movement. Great for the brain and the soul. Alan Tauber, who runs the Drum Connection could not be kinder or more devoted to his art. This has been a postive turn for me and I will continue on this road with pleasure.

I returned to the store today to purchase my first djembe. Alan was more than helpful. He gave a mini-lesson on the spot so I would know how to evaluate the variety of drums, their tonal differences, etc. He also played several of them for me to have a better impression of what it sounds like once technique is mastered. The drum I finally settled on is incredible, love it. My wife was looking for a bodhran, and he gave demonstrations of those as well!

Amazing Store.
My son is now starting drum lessons. We stopped in to purchase a drum pad and drum sticks. This is an amazing store. There is much to learn about choosing an instrument that suits you...and we were encouraged not to rush in and spend a lot of money at this stage. The store is packed with drums (mostly hand drums) and each visitor is encouraged to try out items that spark their interest. While visiting, my son tried several thumb pianos as well.

Hey just wanted to write you a note to tell you how much I absolutely love the drum! It was the perfect choice for me. The slaps are just incredible and yet it gives good bass response. I brought it to work to play with the children and it was just such the perfect instrument. It’s just the right one for me and I'm really thrilled with it. Thanks so much.
