Enjoy the drumming, and Drums Alive® will improve your physical health, as well as neurological well being. Both of them together are a mind/body experience , and are greatly enhanced by the rhythmical drumming patterns.

Laboratory research by Andrew Neher, a Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums showed that drumming produces changes in the central nervous system. The rhythmic stimulation affects the electrical activity in many sensory and motor areas of the brain. The single beat of a drum contains many sound frequencies, and accordingly it simultaneously transmits impulses along a variety of nerve pathways in the brain. Recent research (Bittmann., Magazine Alternative Therapy, January 2001) has also shown that there is a positive influence on the human immune system and drum therapy is being used throughout the world in a variety of therapy programs.

Rhythm and movement in the form of drumming and dance are ancient technologies for raising energy, inducing ecstatic experience, as well as providing a sense of community. Rhythmical movement is an aesthetic experience and aesthetic pleasure.
