Welcome
to Drums and Rhythm
"...drumming
has been part of our daily lives before the flame was found"
Hundreds of drumming enthusiasts
are taking the world by storm and they are not alone. All major corporations
have joined the band wagon like Toyota, Wesbank and Glaxo to "beat
stress" and to build teams with a network of unbounding rhythm.
The
very first thing we hear, long before we are born is the rhythmic beating
of our mothers heart.
Our cells, our organs,
our systems operate rhythmically, births are rhythmic events, and so are
breathing, walking, digesting food and making love.
Western
science has proven that we live in a rhythm in which everything in the
universe moves in rhythms - every tiny electron, every tree, every planet
and every star.
Pre-industrialized societies
have always had some instinctive understanding of these pulses and how
they interact. Since the 17th century, western scientist too have known
about rhythmic entertainment, which is one of the great organizing principles
of the world.
Basically, the principle
holds that if two similar rhythms are in close proximity they will automatically
'entrain', or fall into synchrony. So if you place two out-of-sync pendulums
beside each other, you'll find after a day or so that they are keeping
time together.
