No matter who we are, the call of the drum is capable of elevating our human experience and, as a result, improving people's lives. Leading a Drum Circle is an honor and a privilege, and it also brings responsibility. It is a fascinating and fulfilling task because ...
Rhythm is a way of life.

The world of percussion is huge and diverse. Percussion cannot be broken down to one genre or one type of person. It’s more. That’s why Meinl Percussion has made it its business to offer a huge range of products that meets almost every need and complies with the highest quality levels regarding manufacturing and materials used. Only by committing to the highest standards, top quality instruments, the maximum of playing comfort, the best possible sounds, and therefore long-lasting customer fulfillment can be guaranteed. But a wide variety of instruments is just one aspect, Meinl Percussion was able to celebrate the really big success through many enthusiastic people: product developers, marketing specialists, sales experts, endorsers and many more, because Meinl Percussion is family!
What is a Drum Circle?
Simply put, a Drum Circle is where people who don't know each other meet in a circle of chairs to drum together on percussion instruments. Participant of a Drum Circle can be anyone, regardless of previous musical experience, age, gender, social or ethical background.
A drum circle sometimes resembles a really big party, other times more like a ceremony. And sometimes it is focused on a specific goal or spreads a message. The Drum Circle is a very good way to address a wide variety of social goals.
In any case, the main goal is to create a great and pulsating musical experience as a group. The special thing about a Drum Circle is that there is no practice beforehand. Music is made right away because the Drum Circle lives from improvisation.
The positive effect of a Drum Circle
Pressure to perform is a foreign word within a Drum Circle. The main focus is on having fun with rhythm. Subliminally, however, other soft skills such as respect, mutual listening and trust are developed. At the same time, rhythm has a vitalizing and connecting effect and conveys joie de vivre.
Drum Circle and Jam Session instruments from Meinl Percussion
Meinl Percussion's Crum Circle and Jam Session instruments are extremely robust and durable. All djembes, congas, bass drums, stack drum sets, timbas and hand percussion instruments with the exeption of the cajons are made of synthetic materials. This allows to play outdoor, even in bad weather.
The non-slip rubber bottom prevents the instrument from slipping or falling over while playing.
Many drums contain a removable head, so it’s easy to change from one sounding head to another one. Cool side effect: The head could also be played by themselves as a small hand drum.
Easy storage and transport is ensured by the possibility of stacking the drums. In combination with the carrying bags your instruments can be taken anywhere.
Ein Drum Circle ähnelt manchmal einer richtig großen Party, ein anderes Mal eher einer Zeremonie. Und manchmal ist er auf ein bestimmtes Ziel ausgerichtet oder verbreitet eine Botschaft.
Oberstes Ziel ist es in jedem Fall als Gruppe ein großartiges und pulsierendes Musikerlebnis zu erschaffen. Das besondere dabei ist, dass zuvor nicht geübt, sondern gleich Musik gemacht wird, denn der Drum Circle lebt von der Improvisation.
