Drum With Me!!!

[Catherinedana]

Hi there!

I wanted to introduce you all to our drum circle facilitation business. It's called Drum With Me and my husband, Barry Skeete and I do drum circles for all occasions. Barry mostly does circles at Assisted Living Facilities, Nursing homes and rehabs, but he also does parties, corporate events and any other type of event that you might think of.

I lead meditative drum circles that include voice, Native American flute and guided meditation. I also specialize in women's events.

Drums are provided for participants (up to about 40 people) as well as other percussion instruments and participants are also encouraged to bring their own instruments, if they have them. We would be able to provide as many as 100 or so drums for a corporate event.

We are located in Largo, on the West Coast of Florida but are able to travel if compensated. Please take a moment to view Barry's Drum With Me homepage www.drumwithme.com . From there you can go to the mother website, www.bluejayrhythms.com for more information.

Please contact us if you are interested! Hope to drum with you soon!

This is so neat. Drum circles are just about one of the best things in life. Have you ever been to the one at Treasure Island on Sundays?

[Catherinedana]

Yes. . .I used to go a lot, about 6 or 7 years ago. Barry and I are a bit older and calmer now and it has gotten a bit rowdy for us there. We drum whenever we can (he does it every day for his living!) and we share whenever we can as well. We have my whole family drumming now - whenever there is a family get together, we all drum. It's fabulous!!

That's so good.

I love the treasure island drum circle. The sounds of the ocean and drums at the same time. So relaxing.

I haven't been to a drum circle in years! I managed a band from S. Africa ten years ago and I picked up a few pointers along the way on the djembe. I really miss it but I have to travel about an hour each way to go to a drum circle nowadays and I'm not even sure where there is one. What fun!

Hi Mary,

You could look online and search for drum circles in your area. They are more common than you might think! Drumming has really gained popularity and people seem to really enjoy the energy, community and fun a drum circle can provide. Barry just did a little drum party for a boy's first birthday on Saturday!! There were about 6 kids there from 1 year to about 10 and he gave them little drums to play and showed them different percussion instruments. He got some "boomwhackers" which are tubes that you hit and each one is a different note so that you can actually play a song bashing these plastic tubes on the floor. Fabulous for kids! and me too! My sister and I were bopping each other with them this weekend and playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. . .hysterical!

Keep drumming!
