Drumming for Health,
Wellness and Fun
Drumming Circles are
taking the country by storm!
People of all ages are
discovering the joy and the power of drumming either alone or with
others.
This book is for those
who are interested, curious, amazed, or baffled about the sudden
emergence of drumming as a way to connect with others, lower your
blood pressure, melt away anxiety or even discharge some angry
energy. Fads come and go and this could be a temporary phenomenon,
but I don’t really think so. Even the most cursory examination of
musical and cultural history will tell you that drum circles have
been around for a long, long time…thousands of years.

The known benefits of
drumming continue to grow and include:
- Better communication with peers and colleagues
- Improved health and particularly immune function
- Improved attitude and mental health, resulting from increased flow
of endorphins in brain
- Response to rhythm is basic to human functioning, making
rhythm-based events appealing to people of all ages and backgrounds.
- Everyone can enjoy rhythm-based events regardless of ethnic and
cultural background, musical preference or age, making these
activities fun and positive for a wide variety of people.
- Participation in group drumming activities has physical benefits
including sustained physical activity, relaxation, and use of fine
motor skills.
- A strong sense of group identity and a feeling of belonging is
created because participants are actively making music together and
because the sustained repetition of the steady beat acts to bring
people together physically, emotionally, and mentally (rhythmic
entrainment).
- Rhythm-based events can be undertaken with no previous musical
background or training making these experiences accessible to
everyone.
