Page updated May 2013. Hello Drummers & Drum Circle Hunters! Find both freestyle & facilitated drum circles near you. Just scroll
down a little, select the state you live in, and see what's going on in your local area. Also check the bottom of the page for some
other drum circle directories. Many of the circles have a MeetUp, FaceBook page, or website for them. Check near bottom of the page.
The 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 $15) You can also add one time drumming events at the FaceBook page at the bottom.
Most of these drum circles are well established, but new ones are constantly being added to this page, and some unfortunately come
to an end. I'm not always notified when they do, so it's a good idea to check the individual contact info. first before going.
Drum Circle Lovers DVD & Free Drum Circle CD $15
Times are hard for those of us in the arts. To give you a good value for your money, I include a free drum circle jam CD with orders of
my 2 hour DVD "101 Drum Circle Rhythms" here at my website. It's over 70 minutes of drum circle action. You get both disks for $15. The
proceeds from the sales of my DVD & book, help me to fund this site, & work in our community. Thanks kindly in advance for helping out.
You can also pick it up for a couple bucks more at Amazon.com, as well as an instant download for $14. (But no free CD is included.)
iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and most other mp3 retailers have the full 2 hours (mp3 audio) for $10. Just search on the title.
This page is for drum circles in the USA. For circles in the UK, Canada, Austraila, & many others, check out the Worldwide drum circle finder:
I've been maintaining and updating this list for about 12 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.
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 received. I appreciate that very much. Drumming and dancing bring people together. I think we need that now more than ever. 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. Also visit "Drum Circle Finder" on FaceBook.

*note* Coconuts Clearwater Drum Circle was discontinued. It looks like another casulty of the economy it seems.
Unfortunately, the Coconuts Clearwater location on GUlf To Bay Blvd. closed recently, and there is no plans to
relocate it. I left the page up, because of all the bellydancing photos, videos, & 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.

I hope the drum circle finder helped you to locate a drum circle in your area. Again, if you know of an ongoing weekly,
or monthly drum circle that's not listed, please email me, or add it to the FaceBook Drum Circle Finder page, and let
me know, so I can add it in for the benefit of others. This global drum circle directory is updated regularly.
Thanks for your support, comments, and kind words over the years.
To add your weekly or monthly drum circle to the Drum Circle Finder
If you would like to add your drum circle to the list, just email the particulars to me with a brief description & I
will add it in here on the next update. I respect your privacy, & I never give email addresses 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 Saint Louis 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.

Need Some Free Drum Circle Opinions, or some advice? Just ask, I'm happy to try and help.
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.
Check out part 2 of the drum circle rhythms in this YouTube video. Please keep in mind that this is only 7 minutes from my 2 hour DVD.
The DVD title is 101 Drum Circle Rhythms. Actually, there is 120 of them, but who's counting. I hope you enjoy one or two, and these
help to get you in the groove. On the DVD there are lots of fun ethnic drum beats from around the world to explore, have fun with,
& make them your own. Over 2 hours of them will keep you in the drumming mood for a long time. Each rhythm is about a minute long.

Djembe Man Drums
Arnold the djembe man, is a fine djembe retailer that has sold me some of the best djembes I own.
He's based in San Francisco. He has a genuine love for the djembe, it's authenticity, and sound.
He is one of the few retailers that I trust, that will only sell me the real thing in a djembe
and not some knock off. There are a lot of imitators out there, and I recommend checking with
Arnold first, before shelling out hard earned money. A good djembe will give years of enjoyment.
I have known Arnold since 2005, he cares about his customers, and he is a stand up guy.
