When our hands connect with a drum that vibrates with our energy, vitality, emotion, exhilaration, hope sensitivity, giving, sharing and unity, we become whole again. For music gets through where words do not pass, when barriers separate us and when the odds are against us. Group drumming opens doors, enhances self-esteem, ensures a healthy workout, stimulates our minds, boosts our creative potential, makes us laugh and connects us on many levels. It also builds bridges, heightens awareness and strengthens bonds. My participation shows the world who I am, affirms that I can make a difference, and adds my unique sound to the celebration of life.
Group drumming tunes our biology, orchestrates our immunity, and enables healing to begin.
