<h3>What is a Drumming Circle?</h3>
A drumming circle, sometimes called a rhythm circle, is a group of people who gather to make music with percussion instruments. The format is free-form, without a firm beginning or end to the music. Players in drum circles are all on equal playing ground, and there are no wrong notes. They listen to what others are playing and join in. It's not about perfection but rather participation.
Drum circles have ancient roots in cultures with strong drumming traditions, Asia and Africa, and among shamanistic practices of Native American cultures. All kinds of drums have evolved over time, and many of them are hand-drums, played by hitting the stretched hide on the drum with the palm or fingers. Many drum circle participants play hand drums but others might use small hand-held percussions like bells, shakers, and rattles.
Bring your own drums and shakers, blanket or chair.&nbsp; No experience necessary!
