Playing drums at a weekly session in Libbey Park are Joey Urrea of Fillmore, left, Sartuse Shankara, Obadiah Kuria and Jerry Montañez, all from Ojai. "The drum circle is a way for people to come together," said Shankara, one of the session's originators. "If we can play together, we can get along."
