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.
