Synopsis

The Heart of The Circle:
A Guide to Drumming


A different kind of drumming book:
In The Heart of The Circle you will explore several approaches to rhythm, and learn how to take good care of a drum. But you will also find a chapter with step-by-step instructions on how to create ceremonies of your own, meditations to help focus your attention on a particular purpose or dedication, and things to consider when you are ready to start a drum circle of your own. Drumming returns to its traditional role as a means of communication and heart connection, a vehicle for personal fulfillment, group unification and community-building.

In the back of the book, glossary, bibliography, and resources sections provide clues for further adventure into the world of drums, rhythm, leadership, and shamanism. You can buy a drum over the Internet, study the latest research on rhythm, experiment with diverse rhythmic traditions, or search for a master teacher. Whether you are an accomplished percussionist or have never held a drum in your hands, you are welcomed into a world where the primal rhythms of life are The Heart of The Circle.
