What We Offer
Interactive Drumming Circles - A Hands On Connection to YOUR Community!
We are based in the Southeast US, and travel all over the world to deliver rhythm to any and all! For over 25 years we have been offering drum circles for corporate team building events, schools, libraries, festivals, conferences, special needs groups, youth detention centers and senior facilities all over the USA.
The drums are the vehicle to transport a group to a place of stronger community and deeper connections.
Our mission is to facilitate teamwork, respect, and the understanding that when we play together - we accomplish more than we ever could with just ourselves! Bring the rhythm to YOU!
Shake, Body, BOOM!
Shake, Body BOOM! is an excellent opportunity for groups to realize their own potential! No matter how small you think your voice is - you can make a BIG difference when you connect with your community to create something larger than yourself!
We use smaller instruments for an easier set up - and together we make BIG music!
Perfect for large groups and tight schedules!
Streams of Sound - Mindfulness Meditation for Everyone
Everyone need to take a moment to slow down all the activities of life and just be in a quiet moment. We are excited to now offer 15- 45 minute mindfulness meditations and guided visualizations for everyone, as well as offer immediate tools and techniques to take home for those just starting to explore the different modalities of mindfulness practice.
Drum Making Programs
YOU make the drum!
Create your own personalized artwork at any age! Sand, paint and customize your drum shell, then tie-dye and attach a real goat skin head using traditional methods - a real quality musical instrument that sounds great and will keep giving back for years!
Stand Up, Speak Up!
Stand Up, Speak Up combines the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with live drumming by Paul Gavin to expose audiences to the important calls to action that Dr. King proclaimed during the civil rights movement. After being introduced to Dr. King, audiences will watch his speeches and hear a number of his most powerful quotes, accompanied by the drums live. Afterward, Paul leads an interactive discussion about MLK’s ideas as they apply today.
