What is Drums Alive?

Drums Alive is a brain and body program that includes physical, mental, emotional, and social components of wellness. Drums Alive allows for expression and creativity through the rhythm of drumming and the passion of movement. The activity of drumming creates alpha and beta waves in the brain. Often times, alpha waves are very limited- drumming is able to create alpha waves and has been effective in helping individuals with Parkinson’s and their pain management. Alpha waves create a sense of relaxation and calm, where beta waves are seen during high levels of concentration. Drums Alive will create both brain waves and will encourage right and left brain coordination. Check out the action
