Drumming for Peace: I am Leo Hartshorn, director of West Coast Drumming for Peace. DFP was started in 2002 with Heidi Beth Wert in Lancaster, PA where she continues to direct the East Coast Drumming for Peace. DFP teaches and witnesses for peace through pedagogical drumming, sacred drumming, public action, and storytelling. I have been drumming for 50 years on drumset, hand drums, and plastic buckets! I started drumming at 10 years old in grade school, played in the high school band and Rock and Roll groups in Southern California. I was drummer for the 60's rock/psychedelic group Beauregarde Ajax. Over the years I have taught snare drum, drum set, and djembe to numerous students. This blog is about the DFP organization, my passion for drumming, and my journey with drums.
