Drumming up energy or beating out stress - the benefits of our sessions are as numerous as the situations and people we get involved with.

Initial research has shown that regular guided communal drumming with a particular protocol boosts the immune response and there is a large amount of anecdotal evidence that group drumming helps people to become more healthy. It may be the physical activity, the act of improvising music, the interaction with a group of other humans, the release of stress or one or more of lots of other reasons why drumming improves health but more research is needed.
