Drum Circle

My drum circles include a variety of instruments, such as djembe and dun duns, along with other percussion tools, to help create the diversity of sound we will make together.

My drum circles are guided by my own BEAT philosophy:

B – Be present in the moment and the rhythm.

E – Express yourself authentically, free from judgment, perfectionism or failure, in a space where you can just be your full self.

A – Appreciate yourself, the group, and the music you create together.

T – Togetherness—embrace the sense of community and connection to support each other

My hope is that you will leave my drum circles feeling energised and lifted as you awaken your rhythm for life. Walking back through the door with a smile on your face and a sense of loosening up your body so you don’t feel so tense or stressed as you head back into your everyday life.

Scientific research* supports the therapeutic benefits of drumming:

• Reduces stress, tension, and anxiety
• Boosts energy levels and motivation
• Enhances confidence and creativity
• Increases your communication and interpersonal skills
• Fosters a sense of connection and community
• Improves coordination, cardiovascular health, and even helps manage chronic pain

No musical background? No problem! Everything you need—including drums—is provided. Simply bring an open mind, a willingness to try something new, and your full self. There’s no right or wrong in a drum circle; the magic happens when we create music together. What’s most important is wearing a smile and feeling part of a collective. So feel free to participate in the way that feels best for you.

To protect the drums, participants are kindly asked to remove hand/wrist jewellery or tape rings that can’t be removed. Damage will be expected to be paid for if the equipment is not respected.
