For centuries drumming has been used all over Africa as a communication tool, to send messages, to release stress, for exercise, to celebrate and to develop a sense of community. Drumming has the power to transform and inspire us, to move and motivate us as individuals and as groups.

On top of this, drumming is a valuable channel for releasing intense emotions and is a useful tool in teaching people how to control and express strong feelings and impulses. The physiologically calming effect of drumming can help to enhance or rebuild a sense of self-worth.
