Rolling Beats Inspire Hermosa Drum Circle

This local drum circle shakes up the beach for a good cause.

Sabina Sandoval hauls countless drums from her old Volkswagon van onto the Hermosa Beach pier every third Sunday of the month. A lifelong drummer, Sandoval formed the Free To Be Me Drum Circle to help locals improve their lives through inspirational percussion sounds.

Along with the pier, the volunteer group also performs at various locations such as schools, convalescent homes and prisons. All donations to the group not only go toward buying and maintaining drums, but also an after-school drumming program organized by Sandoval, she said.
