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.
