Here for Our Photo Album

"One of the fundamental things that we know about our Universe is that everything in it is
vibrating, is in motion, and has rhythm. Every molecule, every atom, is dancing its own
unique dance, singing its signature song. In the beginning there was noise, and noise
begat rhythm, and rhythm begat everything else. This is a kind of cosmology that
a drummer can live with !! Spirit Drumming is like an organic compulsion to
translate the emotional fact of being alive into sound, into rhythm and into
something you can dance to. This excitement we feel, when we hear
it, tells us that the door into other realms is opening." - Mickey Hart

"Follow your bliss . . . and doors will open where
there were no doors before." - Joseph Campbell

A Friendly Drum Circle Etiquette

1) The Goal of Any Good Drum Circle is to Have Fun and Share in the Live Experience.
2) It's traditional for drummers to be grouped by their skill level, function, and volume, so
that the less skilled drummers do not dominate, and the quieter drummers can be heard ...
giving the drum circle a clear focus. 3) Part of your skill should be the ability to influence
the less skilled drummers through playing. 4) Watch the other drummers. If you can't
see or hear what they are doing, you should play more quietly and with fewer notes.
5) Drummers playing badly, but quietly, are no problem. If you're not sure what to
do, by all means feel free to fake it. 6) The emphasis here is on instinctive and
inspirational rhythms ... rather than rehearsed or formal ones. *smiles*
