PETERSBURG-AK A group of young drummers is bringing its unique style of music to Petersburg for a series of performances and workshops throughout this next week and the Little Norway Festival. Kodiak island drummers, “K.I.D” for short, is a diverse group of children and teens. They combine a variety of drumming styles from Africa, South America and Japan.
