Drum group leader Jaime Meyer says drumming is one of the oldest ways humans have entertained themselves and one of the oldest prayer tools. There is something about drumming that opens you; the drum opens places in your being that modern industrial culture has coaxed—or slammed—shut for many reasons. Drumming works on everyone, but in different ways. There is no right or wrong way to drum.
Some people say that drumming helps to uncover and liberate your “indigenous soul”—that part of you that remembers and yearns for "the original fragrance of the flowering earth," that part of you that remembers and yearns for the what the Celts called the "Oran Mor," the great song of the universe, of which each living thing (from an ant to a supernova) is a note. Drumming opens you, plain and simple. And that is why it is both incredibly fun and incredibly beautiful. I hope that you will find this to be true, as I have.
