Product Description
by Frank Thompson (Author)
Anyone can be a drum circle facilitator and build a business doing it. It is just hard work-coupled with an intentional heart. That is all I used. Along the way, I picked up some drum skills, but musicianship was the least important aspect.
This book is a compilation of what I wanted to express about community drumming and how I experienced it. I wanted to share as much as I possibly could about the influencers and influences that impacted my drum journey and drum business.Inside, you'll find stories about community drumming, its history, its various cultural influences, and the support you need to begin your own business as a community drum circle facilitator.
