- 2007 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!

Last Tuesday at the Dunedin Brewery Drum Circle
I think the reason this drum circle has become so much fun, is that
all these great working musicians show up.
We just want to kick back...and jam sometimes. But make something
that really sounds good. Where nobody is the star...I just begin a rhythm...and away it goes...I'm kind of like a tour guide on a nature tour. We all experience everything together.
We are just an equal ensemble of musicians creating in a drumming
sort of orchestra...all adding our unique voices…
