About
SoCal Drum Party is Led by Mike Enriquez, and features a diverse team of drummers, musicians and music therapists who bring the joy of drumming to events across Southern California. We work with all ages and populations from toddlers to senior. Our mission is to spread the joy of drumming to as many people as possible!
Drumming is a powerful tool for education and social connection. We specialize in working with Preschool and Elementary School students, and special needs populations.
​
We can provide drum circles for groups of ANY SIZE.
Mike Enriquez is a skilled drum set player, percussionist, music educator, drum circle facilitator, and music lover. He shares his passion for music through his company BeatsWithMike, offering drum set lessons, drumming ensembles, and drum circles. Mike has years of experience working with kids of all ages, teens, adults, seniors and those with disabilities or special needs. He is particularly skilled in early childhood music education, where he uses playful and fun teaching strategies to teach the elements of music, rhythm and drumming.
