USA Drum Circle Finder by drumcircles.net

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 area. Then check the bottom of the page, for the drum circle Meetup groups directory. It's growing fast. If you enjoy my website, please visit one of the sponsors above that might interest you. Thanks!

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 all orders of my 2 hour DVD "101 Drum Circle Rhythms" off my website. It's over 70 minutes of live drum circle action. So you get both the 101 rhythms DVD, & a drum circle CD, for $15.

Drumcircles.Net

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. 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 are 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.

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 link back, or 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 July 1st, 2009
