USA Drum Circle Finder by drumcircles.net
Hello drummers! This is the place to find both freestyle and facilitated drum circles near you.
A human edited databse of listings free of charge since 1999. This page was last updated 11/01/2018
Click on the state you are interested in, & it will jump to it on this page. Or, scroll down a little, find the state you
live in, and see what's going on around you. Scroll down a bit for the link to drum circles in all other countries.
Also check the bottom of the page for some other drum circle directories, and ways to promote them. Facebook, etc.
To add new drum circles or edits to existing ones, please scroll down a little for my contact information.
Many thanks to people from all the cities & states that have helped me in their areas over the years.
All these listings are correct to the best of my knowledge, & it's updated monthly. If you know of a change, or a correction, email me
so I can include it. (Please none with fees of over $15) You can also add one time drumming events at the FaceBook page at the bottom.
Most of these drum circles are well established, but new ones are constantly being added to this page, and some unfortunately come
to an end. I'm not always notified when they do, so it's a good idea to check the individual contact information before going.
For updates or new additions, please email me here: drumcircles_net(at)hotmail.com
In the 19 years I've been doing this, I've never asked for any financial help. I'm a bit older now, and I could use some now.

I've been maintaining and updating this list for about 16 years now. I try to make it as user friendly as possible. I just want to help get
the word out where drum circles are. Hopefully there is one near you to check out, or if you travel somewhere, it will help you find one.
You don't need to register, give out your email address, or anything like that. Just trying to get by, & put some good out in the world.
If you'd like to link to my drum circle finder, that's fine. I would appreciate a brief mention of my website in return.
That's all I ask. Please don't copy and paste this work on to another website. Also visit "Drum Circle Finder" on FaceBook.
