 Thank you for your interest in the Providence Drum Troupe, an interactive group of dynamic musicians, a wide-range of dancers, acrobats, visual artists, puppetry and more from near and far who create funky beats with positive energy, demonstrating that living in harmony with one another is not an antiquated notion.
We have but one rule: “Don’t be annoying.” PDT has a dynamic performance schedule requiring rehearsals and behind the scenes planning. It is play when you are able, no pressure but if you say yes to a gig we only ask that you remain committed to that gig as the ensemble is counting on you. PDT is not an open drum jam but rather, PDT has orchestrated parts, often with choreography for dancers and flow artists. Having said that we also have ample room for improvisation and on occasion we invite prospects to jump in, have fun and see if PDT is a good fit. PDT rehearses weekly on Tuesday’s 6-8 pm sometimes blending into a public performance. Our colors are black and bling with LED lighting which is up to each member to get creative with. Each member provides their own instrument, transportation and gear with the exception of core drum line which is owned by the band. |
