I have just completed the Remo HealthRHYTHMS® Group Empowerment Drumming facilitator training course. More details to follow shortly.

HumDrumStrum has changed it's name to Rhythm for Life

Back in 2003 HumDrumStrum started as a world music ensemble playing original, acoustic material. We keep using the name when we began, in 2004, to provide rhythm events in schools and in the community.

Now, in 2010, my focus over the last few years has been on the health and wellness aspects of rhythm and drumming and I was keen to find a name that stated more clearly what I feel about the power of rhythm. I think therefore 'Rhythm for Life' is perfect, no explanation need, it says it all!

A drum circle is a fun community music-making event where people sit or stand in a circle while playing world drum and percussion instruments.

People play improvised rhythms. Music is created in the moment.

You don't have to be a drummer to participate. It is people of all levels of musical experience coming together and sharing their rhythmical spirit.

Instead of a teacher, there is a facilitator – someone with musical experience and facilitation training who leads from the centre of the circle.

In the Drum Circle, there is no audience. Everyone is part of the performance.

Check out some great new shakers and rattles from REMO here.

We are proud to announce that we will be distributing Joia Tubes in the UK. These wonderful instruments have been hugely successful in the USA in the educational and music therapy areas. You can view the available range by clicking here.
