The sound of drums speaks to all of us. Everything has a rhythm, from the
staccato beat of raindrops to the soft rhythm of the surf. Most importantly,
our hearts have a strong rhythm. Sometimes our heart beats speed up, then slow
back down. But, there is a basic, natural rhythm that is ours exclusively.

Drum circles allow us to let our imagination soar, our heart beats changing
their speed as we think about things we might otherwise avoid. We feel safe
doing this in a drum circle because that bottom beat, the basic elementary 
pulse of the circle will always bring us back to our "home" beat. And that
gives us an element of security that may not be conscious, but which we 
instinctively recognize. The therapeutic benefit of feeling safe exploring 
things with our thoughts and emotions is one of the biggest factors in the 
popularity of modern drum circles.


The Drum Circle

A drum circle is something a little different from the usual things you tend
to see. I provide African, Egyptian, and Latin drums, and introduce rhythms 
from various cultures.

My drum circle facilitation style has been influenced by what I've learned 
from various top rated drum circle facilitators, including Christine Stevens,
Buddy Helm, Kalani, Arthur Hull, Jim Donovan, & Babatunde Olatunji. But
more so by over 20 years of just attending and running drum circles, and seeing
what works (and what doesn't) in order to create a fun and magical atmosphere
that encourages creative expression.


Community and Fun

Cultures from around the world use drumming to unify their communities. A drum
circle anywhere brings people together by using our uniqueness to create something
that belongs to all of us. It's educational, healthy, it releases negative emotions,
provides joy, and opens creative expression.

But most of all, it's a lot of fun to play the drums. Anyone can participate, from
kids to seniors. We smile, we play, we heal, we dance, we laugh, we learn, and have 
fun together. No hand drumming experience is needed. You're going to love it!

I help everyone to drum with ease in a matter of minutes, so they can discover their 
own sense of rhythm, and experience the fun of hand drumming. It's a fun colorful way 
to jazz up an event, and it's very casual, people can come and go as they please, and
stay for as long as they like. I don't want people to be drummers, I just want them 
to be able to enjoy drumming together.
