dfw drum circle

[SomeDude]

sup ya'll, and particularly those special texans in the dallas forth worth area.

It has been a really long time since i have participated in a drum circle, and don't really know many people interested in starting one, so i thought this might be a good place to start some discussion about it.

If you don't know, a drum circle is where a bunch of people get together every once in a while somewhere, preferably outdoors around a nice fire, but a backyard or an apartment or whatever with enough space works, and people bring their drums, didjeridoos, or whatever kind of instruments you play(usually rhythm instruments) and you sit/dance/jump around the circle playing/chanting/singing etc and generally having a good time or trying to go into a trance state. Every time I've been to one it was a really good time.

So, does anyone think they might be interested in starting something like this?

Greetings, you might try this site, and email Phillip. I was looking for info on a drum circle since I'd never been to one, and found him on another Rainbow site. He's very kynd and extended an invitation to join him at a circle that they have every wednesday(?) I think in Dallas. I never did get back to him, to much time has passed, and I don't know if he'd even remember me . Hope this helps and if so, please post how your experience was, I think more people should feel these 'hippie' vibes. LOL

Have you ever been to the burning man celebration? It would be a blast to get a group from the metroplex to caravan out west for it.

Drum circles can be different things to different people. Back in the late 70's, my drinking/smoking buddies would all gather once in awhile for a camping trip......and I do mean "trip". We had one silly looking Native American tourist drum that we passed around. After you took a toke, and after several hits of peyote, the person with the drum got to vent, bitch, rant, and rave about his or her life problems. Then the other people would offer suggestions to help. Sometimes they had incredibly good ideas. The problem is that we normally forgot the answers by the next morning's hangover. But it was a lot of fun, and great bonding for good friends. I'm just glad Cartman was too young to kick our asses then...

Sounds like a lot of fun. MY friends and I have gotten together and just jammed. None of us really know 'how to play' but we just created our own beats with the bongo drums and other drums we had. It makes for a great time.

I guess we all need to just meet at somedude's house tonight.

I do have a large backyard, barbeque pit, and a jacuzzi. Who's bringing the party favors? woohoo party at my house tonight!
