The Rhythm Hut

The Rhythm Hut is the home of drumming on the central coast. Located in the heart of Gosford, it is a fun and funky community space created by the wonderful musicians and co. that are The Rhythm Hunters!

As well as being the creative space for this extraordinary group and their mind-blowing rhythmic art, The Rhythm Hut hosts a range of weekly drumming classes as well as a unique range of other activities, and of course the once monthly 5-Lands, a long-standing beloved community event featuring the 5-Lands band as well as monthly guest performers!

The Rhythm Hut aims to provide a fun, friendly and healthy community space, where friends can gather together and share in the love and laughter that forms the basis of a strong community.

We are always open to suggestions for how we can further this aim, so if you have an idea for a class or event and are looking for that perfect space in which to share it, please feel free to contact us!!

The Rhythm Hut is available for hire for events of all kinds. If you are looking for a beautiful and funky venue, youve found it!! We have already hosted a range of amazing musicians, artists and even a circus!

Classes

Djembe

The Djembe is a traditional hand-drum originating from West Africa and is central to the musical traditions of peoples such as the Malinke. More recently artists such as Ben Harper have made the djembe more recognised in popular culture. Notable exponents in Australia include the Bangoura brothers from Guinea.

Taiko

Japanese Taiko drums are the largest drums in the world. Also known as festival drumming, the style of playing is called Wadaiko, known for its rigorous training requirements and awe-inspiring stage performance. Groups such as Ondekoza (Demon Drummers), Kodo and Drum Tao have put taiko drumming on the international radar over the last 20 years. Notable groups in Australia include TaikOz & The Rhythm Hunters.
