The psychological and physiological benefits of drumming are many! Through actively engaging the body and mind with rhythm, we can release stagnate energy, become more present, compassionately connect with others, and awaken the natural healer within. Aligning with the beat of a drum can help us harmonize our inner self with our surrounds, connect us with our personal power, and become conscious of our innermost truth. In the recovery of injury and disabilities, drumming can assist in the development of motor skills, coordination, and circulation. For ill patients, it can be a means to increased immune system response, pain relief, grief management, and enhanced quality of life. Drumming can help channel creativity, process emotions, boost mood, and increase well-being.
The health benefits of drumming and rhythm have been extensively researched and validated by such organizations as Remo HealthRHYTHMS, Drums and Disabilities (DAD), the Strong Institute (REI), the American Music Therapy Association, and many others. All of these websites have further articles, research, and clinical studies available for review.
