International Global Drum Circle Finder by drumcircles.net
These are drum circle listings for Australia, Canada, Europe, Taiwan, The Phillipines, and many others.
They are all are current & updated to the best of my knowledge. If you know of a new drum circle, correction,
or a regular meeting drum circle in your area that isn't listed, please let me know so I can include it.
Also check the bottom of the page, for the drum circle Meetup groups directory. It's growing fast.
I update this finder monthly so everyone can find a fun place to drum and dance. (Updated June 27, 2009)

circle action. You get both the rhythms DVD, and the drum circle CD for $15 + $4 shipping to anywhere in the World.

Greece
Naxos Greece - there is a full moon party – which can have drumming. on Plaka beach.
This is primarily in the summer months – September is probably the last.
I was hoping for something in Athens. I wouldn’t mind being the first to set up a flag,
*if there was just a little bite on the hook from other people.
Cheers, - Fez

Need Some 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 suggest 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.
Think of it like the way 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, & musicality.
Below is the drum circle "meetup" map, and below it is the link to the meet up drum circle directory.
See if there is anything going on near you. Many of the above listings now have a "Drum Circle Meetup"
Here is the link to the meetup drum circle directory. Or, paste this into the googler below.

MeetUp Drum Circle Directory
See what drum circle meetup's are going on near you, or maybe even get one started.
It's a great way to get the word out locally, and promote your circle.
If you want to add your drum circle to the listings, 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 drum circle rhythms CD's, DVD's, live drum circle CD's, and my new 300
page book, "A Practical Guide To Hand Drumming And Drum Circles" ISBN 9780615274102 ($17.95 with a free facilitated
drum circle CD) I also teach hand drumming in person, and online to children and adults. I work with a variety of
groups, and I facilitate drum circles around the Tampa Bay, Florida area. I do some charity work for a number of
worthwhile organizations. There is a little wear and tear on the drums & percussion I provide at these events. 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.
Thanks in advance for helping us out with repairs, and expenses to keep this kind of work going.
I hope this list has helped you to locate a drum circle in your area. Again, if you know of
a weekly, or monthly circle that's not listed, please drop me an email from the link above, 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 comments, support, & the kind words. I really appreciate it.
