USA Drum Circle Finder by Drumcircles.net


 

Hello Drummers & Drum Circle Hunters! This is the place to find drum circles near you.
 


"Drum Circle Lovers Stimulus Package".

If you order a copy of my 2 hour DVD, "101 Drum Circle Rhythms" I'll include a 70 minute drum circle 
CD free with your order through the end of July. Visit the main page.
 Drumcircles.Net 
  
I'm hoping to stimulate the drum circle economy. Video sample below. It's $15 for both, + $2 shipping. (USA)


 


I've been maintaining and updating this list for about 8 years now. I've tried 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, this will be useful to help you find one. It looks like we drum circle lovers 
have finally arrived. I've seen 3 different TV commercials with drum circles portrayed in them in the last year. 
There is even a drum circle themed movie out now. Plus, we even have drum circle listings in Alaska! That's cool! 


These drum circle listings are alphabetically listed by state. Just click below on the state you are interested 
in, and it will jump to it. All of these are correct to the best of my knowledge, & they are updated monthly. 
If you know of a change, or a correction, email me so I can include it. Please none with fees of over $10.


I try my best to make this the most complete, and up to date drum circle list on the web, and thanks for all the 
help and kind comments I've recieved on it. I appreciate that very much. I hope everyone can find a fun place to 
enjoy drumming and dancing together. Drumming is cheaper than therapy. If you would Really like to thank me, 
please pick up one of my drum circle CDs, or the 101 Drum Circle Rhythms DVD or CD's. 

 
If you'd like to link to my drum circle finder, that's fine. I would appreciate a link back, or 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. Updated 07/08
