WelcomeDrumming is an ancient art form utilized by all cultures around the world. Regardless of tradition, group drumming serves as an excellent technology for individual self expression and community development. Everyone has rhythm pulsing from the core of their being. The drum is an easy way for each of us to access these rhythms and share in the gift of music making. Music is behind life, and rules life; from music springs all life. The whole creation exists in rhythm and in general phrase… it may be said that there is one common source of dis-ease; and that is disorder in rhythm. - Hazrat Inayat Khan Rhythm is the organizational element to all music. At the core of life, like music; is rhythm. DNA Rhythms is a metaphor for the shared element that unifies all life on Earth. People, like music, are organized by common rhythms. Drumming as a community activity can dissolve the boundaries of culture, race, gender or social status. Group drumming encourages communitcation between participants, helps develop listening skills, exercises the brain, moves the body, rejuvenates the emotions and allows for creative self expression. As the entrainment of the group rhythm takes over, people are empowered to explore their instrument regardless of playing ability. Let the pulse of your own heart be the reminder that you are alive, have rhythm and are one with all the Earth has to offer. Is it any wonder that moving the ‘H’ from the end of the word Earth to the beginning spells the word Heart?

While the arts are strategically being removed from public education systems, T.V. ‘programming’ informs us that creativity and expression are reserved for the chosen few. There is a need for people to come together and share their hearts, ideas, innovation, gifts and talents. Drumming allows all people to access the joy of music making. Everyone seems so busy working.
