picking up the rhythm and signals from Somesh was a truly thrilling and
connecting experience for us all."

What is a Drum Circle?
"The Community Drum Circle is a
fun entry-level learning experience
that is accessible to
anyone who wants to participate. Drum Circle
participants
express themselves collectively by using a chorus of
tuned drums, percussion, and vocals to create a
musical song together
while having a
great time."
- Arthur Hull founder of Village Music Circles.
A
music event based on community, where participants sit or stand
in a circle playing percussion instruments including drums, bells,
shakers etc.- All music is spontaneous and created in-the-moment.
- A facilitator leads the circle to experience their full
potential as a musical orchestra.
- There isn't any audience in the drumcircle, every member is part the
team, participating and contributing to the music.
"Once again - thank you for a great day Somesh -
I had SO much fun : ) - so much - I envy you your job, you have amazing
energy and use it in a way that we all benefit from it. So yeh thanks!"
Vikki Kirkwood (After REMO Drum Circle at RFH - London South Bank July
2005)
Drum Circle's work because..
Participants
entrain to the dominant rhythm of the group.- Rhythm is within all of us, its in our walk, the way we eat,
the seasons, day and night. Drumming expresses our own individual
rhythm.
- It is the easiest way for people to be involved in music making.
- A facilitator takes all the pressure and worry away from the group,
allowing the group to enjoy the music.
