She has been playing percussion with Drumsum since its inception in the San Francisco East Bay in 2003. Sue Anne completed Community Drum Circle Facilitation training from Arthur Hull and specific facilitation training to work with special populations given by Heather MacTavish. Since 2003 Sue Anne has shared her sheer joy for life by facilitating hundreds of rhythm circles where she delights and empowers various populations from ages 3 – 100! She is co-founder of Everyone in Rhythm and facilitates rhythm based programs in the greater Sacramento area with various organizations for team building, stress release and celebrations. REX WOMACK has been performing for over ten years as a percussionist, drummer, didgeridoo, and American Indian flute player. He has facilitated Drum Circles for many different venues, led a monthly Drum Circle for The Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District for over six years where he also taught classes on playing hand drums and didgeridoo. Rex has played the Didgeridoo for seven years, learning from American master players Steven Kent and Randy Graves. He also has studied with a number of Australian Aborigine Didgeridoo masters, both here and in Australia. Using his formal training on guitar, drums and didgeridoo, he self taught himself to play the American Indian flute whcih accounts for his unique style. Rex has taught hundreds of people of all ages to play Drums and Didgeridoos and has been a featured speaker about music and the Australian Aborigine culture and history. In the past two years he expanded his performances to include healing and blessing ceremonies using Tibetan singing bowls, long horn, conchs, bells and gongs.
