My book is out, "A Practical Guide To Hand Drumming And Drum Circles"
This 6" x 9" paperback book is over 300 pages of text, and it's $17.95
Work is a little slow these days, so I finally got my book published. It only took me 8 years. LoL. It's jammed with practical information, suggestions, and ideas for people who love hand drumming, or who are interested in starting up a drum circle, or drumming program for their group.
The focus is on sharing as much information about hand drumming, and drum circles as possible. Facilitated, specialty, hosted, rhythmic drumming events, and even open freestyle drum circles. Everything from a rockin' drum circle - to a healing drum circle, plus the many different ways to approach them. I discuss how to go about building a drumming program in many of the specialty areas.
Visit my site drumcircles.net for more info on that, as well as my 2 hour DVD, "101 Drum Circle Rhythms". A free drum circle CD is included with purchase. It's $15. Such a deal! Thanks
- Your most fantastic drumcircle experience to date.
- The Earth Day Celebration Drum Circle. We had a special needs group up on the big stage mixed with a big group of locals from the weekly drum circle. Nobody in the crowd knew it, and they got to just be percieved as one of the gang, and not treated as "special". They smiled and beamed as we all played proudly for 2 hours in front of a huge crowd. The applause at the end was so immense we all felt like rock stars. Earth day was one of the greatest moments of my life. I still can see the joy and pride on all the drummers faces.
The Jazz festival drum circle was a close second. A bunch of the jazz fest members joined in on the drum circle. I can't even describe how cool that sounded. One by one the band members drifted into the drum circle and just jammed with us. Fantastic!
