The Accidental Drum Circle Mark Burrows.
In The Accidental Drum Circle, Mark Burrows shares how, with no more than two
hand drum lessons, he put together a drum circle program that reached hundreds of
elementary students. This humorous "quick read" addresses everything from how
to arrange the instruments and students, to the basics of proper drumming, how to
start a groove, and how to have a drum circle without drums. According to Mark,
the purpose of drum circle is immediate—connect people through a shared musical
experience that builds community while celebrating individuality.
