Music is obviously another way to express their feelings towards something or someone. but how often could you relate yourself to music that has no words in the song at all?

We all experience non verbal communication in our daily lives. But what if i told you that there was a community of people who use drums, and drums only to communicate to others ?

And no, this aint some African Tribe.








The Community Drum Circle is a community based event where drums and rhythms are the cornerstones of their organizations. It is a noisy, yet fun, family based event.They empower each other in the act of celebrating community and life through rhythm and music.


Not these drums

People of all levels of musical expertise come together and share their rhythmical spirit with whatever drums and percussion they bring to the event. Everyone who comes and participates has something to offer the circle, and any one is welcome.

This community bases its messages, almost unilaterally, through rhythm and rhythm only. Gabriel Roth, of the Community Drums Circle, says that

The spirit and magic of rhythm expressed on drums and percussion instruments cuts through all ages, sexes, religions, races and cultures.

What members of the Drum Circle do is that they collaborately create an event where they come together as a community, to drum their rhythms of life, and changes relationships in the form of positive energy. And this is all achieved via drums. The release as well as the healing is very different for everyone but the main goal of a unified community is achieved.

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 its place is a living breathing entity, expressing timeless joy, passion and release through the power of rhythm.

This people, is the beauty of a community drum circle.

This also comes to show that music and rhythm is a powerful means of non verbal communication.

Drums, non verbal communication? Almost reminds me of Hitler.
See, what Adolf Hitler used to do was to assemble all his troops to the haunting, repetitive, sounds of drums pounding until he had a whole cavalry of mindless robots willing to further his goal of Nazi superiority. See how powerful is the power of rhythm?

Until then, check yourself before you wreck yourself!
