Come like minded people…Come and meet some new friends…

Scientists recently released a report that discovered that the brains of musicians that played together had equally matched electrical impulses. In other words, their brain patterns were in sync and were proven to be identical. New scientific evidence has also reported that people who engage in synchronous activities are more likely to cooperate with their group members, as it enhances their value of friendship and collaboration.xxxi

“Study results demonstrate that drumming is a valuable treatment for stress, fatigue, anxiety, hypertension, asthma, chronic pain, mental illness, migraines, cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, paralysis, emotional disorders, and a wide range of physical disabilities i.”

Engaging in musical activities such as drumming can also be an effective intervention to enhance cognitive abilities, facilitate verbal and nonverbal communication, and influence physiology ii.
