    Loaner drums are available. Contact us to register or if you have any questions!

    Most weekends as weather permits. Saturdays at 2:00 pm will be our normal time, but we may move it about a bit depending on schedules and weather. Please contact us or check the Port Townsend Drummers FB page for updates.
