What
is a Community Drum Circle?
By Arthur Hull
The
Community Drum Circle is the ise of a rhythm-based event as a tool
for unity. It is NOT a drum class. It's NOT using culturally-specific
rhythms. A community drum circle in the United States is a fun,
family friendly event, where people empower each other in the act
of celebrating community and life though rhythm and music. People
of all levels of musical expertise come together and share their
rhythmical spirit with whatever drums and percussion they bring
to the event. They don't have to be a drummer to participate. Everyone
has something to offer the circle, and anyone is welcome.
The
spirit and magic of rhythm expressed on drums and percussion instruments
cuts through all ages, sexes, religions, races and cultures. "Rhythm",
as Gabriel Roth says, "is the mother tongue." Rhythm is
a universal language known to every one, even the youngest child,
if we can just "remember." So in a very objective, yet
beautiful way, an interactive rhythm event puts us all on an equal
footing with each other and brings us closer together. The facilitator
serves this process by guiding the participants to their highest
musical potential.
A community
drum circle is created, "in the moment" by all the people
who participate. Co-operation and collaboration is the basic glue.
When we drum together, sharing our spirit in the form of rhythm,
it changes our relationships. As we play together, we give ourselves
a rhythmical massage and an emotional release. The experience is
unique to each person in the circle, and it happens whether we are
entraining ourselves into the circle by drumming, or standing outside
the circle and listening while tapping our feet and clapping along
with the music.
There
are many places where drum circles are being used for many purposes,
like....
Teambuilding for corporations
Empowerment building for mens and womens groups
Spirit building for spiritual growth and personal growth
groups
Synergizing and rhythm training for school/kids groups
Stress and anger relief for kids- at-risk groups
Orientation for college campuses and on-going circles for
multi-cultural awareness.
Family bonding for family night drum circles.
Community building and market building for music stores.
To
make beautiful music together, all we have to do is bring to the
circle whatever rhythmical expertise we have to offer, along with
the excitement of sharing it with other people. The quality of the
music produced in an event like this is not based on the rhythmical
expertise of the players, but on the quality of their relationship
with the other people in the circle. The result is those magical
musical moments where one powerful voice is created out of the many.
In those moments, the players stop worrying about keeping time because
time, as they know it, has stopped. In it's place is a living breathing
entity, expressing timeless joy, passion and release through the
power of rhythm. That is the beauty of a community drum circle.
