Music therapy with drums is a set of methods in which music, sound and rhythm serve as the primary means of establishing communication with the world around us. It is used for preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic purposes as well as to stimulate psycho-physical and spiritual development. The sound of drums acts as an anti-stress treatment which leads to relaxation, and changes the participants’ focus from external events to their internal state. . Alternating rhythmic blows to the drum aligns the right and left brain hemispheres, which connects the intellect and the intuition. The drums produce one of the most powerful effects and bypass the traditional and the modern, the individual and the social.
