Tips on How to Join a Drumming Circle

In Africa, drumming circles have long since been an integral part of their culture. They consist of people playing a range of hand-drums and percussion instruments in a circle. Drumming circles can accommodate as few or as many people who want to get involved.

The lead drummer starts things off by laying down a rhythm for the rest to follow. Other musicians join in to the rhythm. Drumming circles are a great way to bring together the community. Circles have grown in popularity because they offer equality - there is no head or tail, and people of all ages and abilities can join. People are there to join in with the music and enjoy the rhythm.

If you want to join a drumming circle, it is extremely easy. Many local community centres will have a drumming circle so do your research. If you can't find a circle to join why not looking into starting one up? Use the local community board to get the details of people interested in joining. You can get started with only a few members - all you need is a variety of African instruments.

Having a range of different instruments will add depth and interest to sounds and rhythms. If the instruments vary, every time you meet you will produce a difference sound. The main rhythm needs to be constant and powerful which can be achieved by a large paddle drum or a number of djembes.

Explore your creativity through drumming and joining a circle. By learning a few simple notes and concentrating on keeping in time with the circle is great for your concentration and non-verbal communication skills. With a drumming circle there is no talk of what you will play that day. It all stems from a single beat and people joining in.

If you are not particularly confident, start with a small percussion shaker and join in as and when you can. Eventually you will fall into the rhythm and realise that each instrument is integral to the sound. You will be able to play other instruments as your confidence grows.

Drumming circles provide a certain feel good factor, for a number of different reasons. Being involved in a group activity helps with building friendships and a support network. Drumming also has a positive impact on health and has long been used as a form of music therapy. Community groups make people feel like they have a purpose and that they belong. Together with learning new skills is a great way to boost self esteem.
