Hello Drummers & Drum Circle Hunters! This is the place to find drum circles near you. Just scroll down a little, pick the state you live in,
and see what's going on in your local area. Also check the bottom of the page, for the drum circle Meetup.com groups directory. Many of
these circles have a MeetUp group, a FaceBook group, or a Yahoo group for them now. There is a google search at the bottom of the page.
Drum Circle Lovers DVD & Free Drum Circle CD $15
I think we are all feeling the crunch, so to give you a good value for your money, I am including a free drum circle CD with orders of my 2
hour DVD "101 Drum Circle Rhythms" off my website. It's over 70 minutes of drum circle action. You get both disks for $15. The proceeds
from the sales of the DVD and book, help me to fund work in our community. Thanks kindly in advance for helping out.
Check out the video sample from the DVD below. It's $15 for both disks, + $2 shipping. $17 total. (USA only)
I've been maintaining and updating this list for about 10 years now. I've tried to make it as user friendly as possible. I just want to help get
the word out where drum circles are. Hopefully there is one near you to check out, or if you travel somewhere, it will help you find one.
You don't need to register, give out your email address, or anything like that. Just trying to put some good out in the world.
These drum circle listings are alphabetically listed by state. Just click below on the state you're interested in, and it will jump to it.
All of these are correct to the best of my knowledge, & they are updated monthly. If you know of a change, or a correction, email me so I
can include it. Please none with fees of over $10. You can also add one time drumming events at the FaceBook page at the bottom.
I try my best to make this the most complete, and up to date drum circle list on the web, and thanks for all the help and kind comments I've
recieved on it. I appreciate that very much. I hope everyone can find a fun place to enjoy drumming and dancing together. Theraputic drumming
is cheaper than therapy! Please help support us picking up my Drum Circle Rhythms DVD, CD's, or my 300 page book, "A Practical Guide To Hand
Drumming And Drum Circles". Here is the link to the book: A Practical Guide To Hand Drumming And Drum Circles Book Link
If you'd like to link to my drum circle finder, that's fine. I would appreciate a brief mention of my website in return. That's all I ask.
Please don't copy and paste this work on to another website. These drum circle listings were last Updated September 3, 2010

Drumming starts around 9 PM on the north side of Pier 60, down by the water near the life guard shack,

circle was fading away after like 15 years. It is now slowly making a comeback.
There's usually a few fire spinners down by the shack, and they like it when some drummers show up.
Even if there is only a few drummers out there, it's still fun to drum to the fire dancers, poi, etc.
Lately, the musicality is excellent, & all ensemble players. Here's a write up of the circle, mp3 & more:

*note* Coconuts Clearwater Drum Circle was discontinued. It looks like another casulty of the economy, it seems.
Unfortunately, the Coconuts Clearwater location closed recently, and there is no plans to re-locate it.
I left the page link up, because of all the bellydancing photos, videos, and good memories we had there.
We celebrated many holidays and special events there, and even beautiful things like the birth of a child
"Gabriela Gaia" by two in our group who fell in love at our drum circle. That's kind of romantic, don't you think?
But sometimes sad things have to be addressed on drum circle night. A musician friend of ours suddenly passed away,
so we held a drum circle wake there in memory of him. There is a tribute page, and lots more. Please have a look.

Need Some Free Drum Circle Advice?
If you live out of the Florida area, and need some advice, suggestions, ideas, or anything at all about hosting
any form of drum circle, I am more than happy to try and help you along. Even if you arn't sure what kind of drum
might be right for you, or your group, just email me and I will try to help you out. I don't actually sell drums,
but I do have years of experience with most major brands, styles, and retailers. I can recommend the places to you
I buy mine from. If you are wanting to host or facilitate drum circles, this art form has evolved a lot in the last
10 years alone. Art can be very subjective. There used to be only one or two widely accepted ways to facilitate drum
circles. Now there are dozens of styles all around the country, and around the world.
look at the way MMA (mixed martial arts) has evolved. It used to be if you were proficient at Judo, Karate, wrestling,
or some other disipline, just being an expert at one style left most at a disadvantage. The ones who are the most
well rounded in all the different styles do the best now in mixed martial arts. And drum circle facilitation is similar
in this way. We have all these different cultures that each have their own style of drumming, and ways of group drumming.
So in my opinion, the way to become the best, is to try and learn from as many facilitators as possible. (Not just one)
And also learn as many cultural styles as possible, so you can be more well rounded in your skills, and work with any
group under any circumstances. Try to study, or study with as many professionals as you can. The learning process should
never end, because we are in an ever evolving field. Your style that you develop can be uniquly yours, a combination of
the best of all of them. It takes a lot of work to be a good facilitator that understands group dynamics, and musicality.
If you would like to add your drum circle to the list, just email the particulars to me with a brief description and I
will add it in here on the next update. I respect your privacy, and I never give email address out to anyone. Thanks.
At my home page drumcircles.net I offer my 2 drum circle rhythms CD's for $10, 2 hour rhythms DVD for $15,
and my 300 page book, "A Practical Guide To Hand Drumming And Drum Circles" ($17.95 with a free facilitated
drum circle jam CD) I also teach hand drumming in person, and online to children and adults. Locally I work
with a variety of groups, and I facilitate drum circles around the Tampa Bay area. I do some charity work
for a number of worthwhile organizations. There's a little wear and tear on the drums & percussion I provide.
The proceeds from the sales of my drumming CD's, DVD's, and drum circle book help me to fund work in our community.
I try to offer them at as reasonable a cost as possible. As an independent artist, funds are always tight, so I
always appreciated a product that is a good value for the money. That's the idea behind my book, CD's & DVD.
