Ryan Taylor Drum Academy

The Ryan Taylor Drum Academy is a people based platform put together with the goal of creating a stronger more vibrant community with everyone in mind. In many indigenous cultures, drum and dance were the most powerful means of healing, understanding, communicating, and coming together to resolve differences. Today these methods still hold true. Drumming has been proven to create equality, level the playing field and build a sense of teamwork. RTDrum takes the principles and the folkloric drum and song to continue this communal practice. RTDrum Academy is based on the ideologies of the Afro Caribbean community and spiritual ethics. That all men, women and children are created equally. No one should ever go without. At RTDrum, our philosophy is no different. By way of teaching Afro Haitian folkloric drum, song and the history of the spiritual culture, our goal is to create a safe haven for all peoples to find self strength, empowerment, and build confidence within and teach better community service. It is these principles that sets this ancient methodology apart from the modern world. RTDrum Academy creates ancient medicine for the modern world. 

 No experience is necessary. All ages are welcome. 

RTDrum Academy is a vision I've had for many years and it had now come to fruition. 

I'm honored to have you join the RTD family and begin building with me a stronger more compassionate community. 

Just a bit about myself; I have been a drummer for 40 years, Afro Caribbean Elder for 10 years, musical instructor and drum circle facilitator for 15 years. I've been blessed to have traveled the world sharing this work. My studies in Afro Haitian drumming began 16 years ago. I underwent several initiations into the culture and lineage and have found those principles to be very much in line with how the modern world should be. 

Now I with great excitement look to share these with you!
