Hi! I’m Ciara (pronounced Keer-Ra or Keira) but some people just call me Ciz. I’m a drummer and have been playing and teaching drums for over two decades. I've played in bands, theatre shows and travelled all over the world. Now I am a mama of two, I run drum camps, drum retreats and offer group drum experiences online. If you like what you see please subscribe and check out my Instagram which I update more frequently. Http://www.instagram.com/ciaradrums www.Ciaradrums.com
