The beat of the drum is one of the most primal sounds of life. At its core, it can connect us to our heartbeat. Playing drums for just a few minutes can boost your mood. Similar to a “runner’s high,” drummers’ brains release feel-good endorphins immediately after playing. The physical stimulation of drumming and the sound vibrations that resonate through every cell in the body stimulate the release of negative emotions. Drumming induces deep relaxation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress.
