Drums are among one of the oldest musical instruments, dating all the way back to 6000 BC in Mesopotamia. Group drumming has been used for just as long in harvest rituals, solstice gatherings, marriage ceremonies and many more celebrations. Drum Circles, a more recent gathering, are for the sole purpose of connecting the community spiritually and socially through expressive music.

How would you like to participate in or witness a Drum Circle, here in the QCA?
