Group drumming within a therapeutic framework includes many other aspects:
Improving the ability to express oneself while cultivating listening abilities
Developing social relations through cooperation and social cohesion
Improved coordination and control of the hands (coordination and motor skills)
Reducing stress and anxiety, fatigue, and depression
Raising mood and spontaneous joy
Improving the immune system at the cellular level
Increase in alpha waves in the brain
Creating verbal communication among group members
Raising motivation among who are recovering from other treatments
​
A sense of ecstatic arousal and at the same time a deep relaxation of thought
And all this is at the tip of our fingers!
​
Drumming with bare hands in rhythmic action releases endorphins from the brain. Just like running, the palms (or legs) encounter a hard surface, time after time, from the right and left, the pulse rises slightly, and the body releases substances that cause euphoria and painkillers.
