“The Rhythm! Discovery Center is a great place to learn about the origins and evolution of drums/percussion. Worth a visit for any music enthusiast… or anyone who likes to hit things!” - Matt Billingslea, drummer (Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum)
“I had a great time checking out the Rhythm! Discovery Center. There are tons of rare and interesting instruments to check out. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. I’d advise everybody to check it out no matter what you’re into…rhythm is in everyone, not just drummers and percussionists!”-Stanton Moore, drummer(Galactic)
“The Rhythm! Discovery Center is a one-of-a-kind gold mine for percussionists – or any rhythm enthusiasts – of all ages. I found it to be a wealth of extremely important historical material – and personally, an invaluable experience that has proven to be greatly inspirational. It’s also completely accessible for non-drummers to have a hands on experience with all things percussion and learn about the evolution and development of percussion the world over.” -Glenn Kotche, drummer(Wilco); Percussionist; Composer
“In downtown Indy is this magical place where you can bang on a variety of percussion instruments.” -Amy Bertrand, Stltoday.com

Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism
