About DrummersTribe

At DrummersTribe we honor the drum as a tool of functional art to access deep realms of natural wisdom for personal expression, growth and healing, group interlinkage, empowerment, and understanding. 

Those who enter the world of drums and drumming often find it to be a dynamic activity, enhancing an inner sense of playfulness, clarity and rejuvenation.  Therapists have found it to be an effective tool to help release negative emotions --- anger, fear, guilt, shame, stress --- bringing clarity, confidence, and mental discipline.  In addiion, researchers have discovered that rhythmic studies often help kids improve math skills. 

But most of all, it's fun. 

So let the drum be your guide and companion on your journey to the timeless mystical dimension where heart, mind, body and spirit unite... where self-discovery, self-expression, and joyful play link with community empowerment, connection and co-evolution.
