FYI: Drumming as Therapy article in New Spirit Journal

According to Scott Wurtz B.A., LMP, PBP and drummer, drumming boost immune systems, helps with depression and reduces stress levels.  This article appears in the April 2011 issue of New Spirit Journal which you can view at http://www.newspiritjournal.com

This concise article includes well-documented research and inspires us to join drum circles.  I've always found dancing and listening to poly rhythms healthy, but playing the drum with others has some fabulous benefits, plus it's fun.

  2. Hi Shelly, you must attend a drum circle at least one time. They're so much fun. Some of the circles even provide extra drums.

    The first step is choosing what type of drum circle you wish to attend because there's everything from Native American drum circles to Latin music and Brazilian samba to West African. And then there are the free-for-alls which combine all of the above, I kid you not.
