This Musical Game, Rumble Ball, is a simple game by Kalani Das that incorporates a playground ball and a circle of musicians, usually playing a variety of drums and percussion instruments. Rumble Ball was first introduced in the early 2000’s by Kalani as part of a set of games later published in the best-selling book, Together in Rhythm and later in DRUM FUN! – Musical Games for Groups (DVD and iBook). You can find more about Rumble Ball, including full instructions for presenting the game, additional options, Modifications, and Extras, on the WDC Patreon site (listed below).
