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) If you enjoy my site, please visit one of the sponsors above that might interest you. Thanks!

The CD is over 70 minutes of live drum circle action. You get both the rhythms DVD, and the drum circle CD for $15 + $4 shipping to anywhere in the World. There's a YouTube video sample below.

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.

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.
