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!
Cathy
