Life is about rhythm.

Everyone is born with a heartbeat.

Rhythm is everywhere.

Rhythm is motion.

Ancient drums have been discovered in almost
every part of the world. Drums first appeared, however, in excavation from the
Neolithic Era. The oldest recorded drum is from 6000 BC. Mesopotamian ruins
contain small cylindrical drums that are as old as 3000 BC. Egyptian tombs have
yielded small drums used for ceremonies. Several caves in Peru contain wall
markings depicting drums in various aspects of societal life. It is strongly
suspected that Indian drums from the Middle East are as old as 5000 BC. The
American Indians used a series of wood and gourd drums for their celebrations
and music, and some of these drums are still sued in ceremonies today.

Drum circles have been seen as a "fad" that has
become popular in the last ten years or so, yet in reality this phenomenon is
much more than an ephemeral expression of popular culture. Community drumming touches
on many issues, including multiculturalism, racism and cultural appropriation,
the mind/body relationship and healing, group dynamics and communication,
personal growth and spiritual development, and more.
