DRUMTASTIC DRUMMING FUN!!!
Drumming is fun for children. Endorphins are released and
negative moods are driven away. When kids are drumming they
are fully concentrated. All their attention is focused on the
drumming and the rhythm. Negative or irritating emotions are
reduced. Drumming increases alpha-brainwave amplitude, this is
associated with a sense of well-being and euphoria. When kids
beat, the vibration from the drums and their energy creates an
experience of a sense of vitality, togetherness and complete
harmony.

Drums Alive DRUMTASTIC® reaches children even when they are

no longer able to communicate. They are able express themselves
with the help of rhythm, movement and music. Drumming
communicates on a level whenever so often words are missing.
Drums Alive DRUMTASTIC® can open doors, builds bridges,
sharpens awareness and promotes relationships among the
children.
