This is an informal group and as the name says you can drop in for a few minutes or for a couple of hours.
No Drums, Shakers or Percussion Instruments? . . . No Problem. There generally are extra drums and other items around to freely share. Just bring a chair if you have one, we will have extras as well.
NOTE: We working on the calendar dates to start the season of indoor drumming at the UU Church of Greater Lynn in Swampscott. It is expected that we will hold our North Shore Community Drum Circle on the 2nd and 4th Sunday afternoons. As before we will have guest circle leaders at least once a month. As soon as the dates are confirmed we will let you know. Right now we are planning to start on the last Sunday of September.

What is a Drum Circle - besides an exciting rhythmic performance?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drum circle is any group of people playing (usually) hand-drums and percussion in a circle. They are distinct from a drumming group or troupe in that the drum circle is an end in itself rather than preparation for a performance. They can range in size from a handful of players to circles with thousands of participants.
In 1991, during testimony before the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging, Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart stated:
Typically, people gather to drum in drum "circles" with others from the surrounding community. The drum circle offers equality because there is no head or tail. It includes people of all ages. The main objective is to share rhythm and get in tune with each other and themselves. To form a group consciousness. To entrain and resonate. By entrainment, I mean that a new voice, a collective voice, emerges from the group as they drum together. [1]
