(Please scroll down for my other double album set "Wild Drum Circles" & some drum circle merch. (Link below.)
Each CD is jammed to the brim, over 78 minutes each. There's over two and a half hours total in all to listen to.
All are separate tracks about 8 minutes each. Plenty of time so you can relax, and settle into a good groove.
It's kind of hard to get decent sounding drum circle recordings. Many of them come out sounding mushy, one sided, or with
background noise. On the other hand, the overly orchestrated ones done in recording studios can be a bit stale,
and don't have that organic sound we create just out there making music.
These live recordings came out great. They are clear and clean sounding because we were able to use 4 microphones and
a soundboard. They were recorded at live concert venues with good acoustics. Just like at regular drum circles, we start
out different rhythms from various cultures and away it goes. You can hear a few mistakes here and there but that's how
drum circles go. On the other hand, the beautiful nuances of the Native American wood flutes, and Australian
didgeridoos were lead instruments on a few pieces, because we were able to mic them up and hear them.
The drum circle music varies from grooving, meditative, and passionate, right on up to riveting, and rocking. They're
some of the most enjoyable drum circle musical pieces I have ever participated in, in my life, and I've been attending
drum circles for over 30 years now. They are from drum circles I hosted around the state of Florida. You will hear some
drummers doing call & response, amazing solo's and lots more going on. You can hear & feel how much fun, & excitement
everyone is having. I hope you enjoy listening to these as much as we did making them. We weren't playing for a crowd,
just playing for ourselves. When you play with a group of musicians every week for a few years, you develop a musical
bond. So this was done with a LOT of help from my friends. They all volunteered when I asked to record a few nights.
It is $10 for the 2 CD set, USA shipping is $2.50, making the grand total - $12.50 - A pretty fair price.
For Shipping to all other countries, it is $2 additional. Please use the button below for that. Thanks
Here's my other 2 CD set, "Wild Drum Circles". Listen to a few tracks, I think you'll like them.
You can hear samples from both double album sets of drum circle music on mp3 at CD Baby.

community, and I really do appreciate it.
