    International Drum Circle Finder

    Tribal & facilitated drum circle listings for Australia, Canada, The UK, Europe, & most other countries.
    They are all are current & updated to the best of my knowledge. If you know of a new drum circle,
    a correction, or a regular meeting drum circle in your area that isn't listed, please let me know
    so I can include it. Also check the bottom of the page for the FaceBook drum circle finder page,
    the drum circle Meetup.com directory, and lots more. This page was last updated July of 2017

    I've been maintaining and updating this list for about 18 years. 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're traveling somewhere, it will help you find one.
    You don't need to register, sign up for anything, and there is no charge to list yours.

    These drum circle listings are listed by country. (Not alphabetically) Click below on the one you're
    interested in, and it will jump to it. (or, scroll down.) Most of these circles are well established.

    Find Drum Circles In Your Country
    Australia  · New Zealand  ·  Canada  · United Kingdom  · Ireland  · Germany  ·  Greece · Spain  · Portugal  · Italy  · Mexico  ·
    Brazil  · Ecuador  · Bolivia  · Israel  · Phillipines  · Taiwan  · Thailand  · Belgium  · Hong Kong  · India  · Turkey  ·
    Malaysia  ·  Denmark  ·  Netherlands  ·  Switzerland  ·  Czech Republic  ·  South Africa  · United Arab Emirates

    Some are facilitated, and some are freestyle tribal. New circles are constantly being added, & some
    unfortunately come to an end. I'm not always notified when they do, so it's a good idea to check
    the contact info first. Drumcircles.net is a sole proprietorship owned by SL Ratigan.

    Times are hard in the arts. To give you a good value for your money, I include a free drum circle CD
    with orders of my 2 hour DVD 101 Drum Circle Rhythms if ordered from my website. It's also available
    at Amazon, but no free CD. The CD is over 70 minutes of great drum circle action. You get both discs
    for $10. + $4. shipped anywhere in the World. There's a YouTube video sample below, and order info.
    The proceeds help me with drum repairs, this site, and also to fund work in our community.

    At my home page drumcircles.net I offer my 2 drum circle rhythms CD's for $10, 2 hour rhythms DVD for $15, and 300
    page book, "A Practical Guide To Hand Drumming And Drum Circles" ISBN 9780615274102 is on Amazon Kindle for $8.

    I work with a variety of groups, and I facilitate drum circles around the ST. Louis, Missouri area. I do some
    charity work for a number of worthwhile organizations. There is a little wear and tear on the drums & percussion
    I provide at these events. The proceeds from the sales of my drumming CD's, DVD's, and drum circle book help me
    to fund work in our community, & keep this site going. I try to offer them at as reasonable a cost as possible.

    As an independent artist, funds are always tight, so I always appreciate a product that is a good value
    for the money. That's the idea behind my book, CD's & DVD. If you can purchase something from me,
    Thanks in advance for helping us out with repairs, and expenses to keep things going.

    There are lots of free things on my site. Drum circle jam mp3's djembe ringtones, & more.

    If you're a filmmaker or video / TV producer all of my drumming & drum circle music tracks are licensed.
    Check CDBaby.com & listen to a few. There's a wide variety of cultures, styles, and tempos to choose from.

    I hope the drum circle finder helped you to locate a drum circle in your area. Again, if you know of a weekly, or monthly circle
    that's not listed, please  email me from the link above, and let me know, so I can add it for the benefit of others. The global
    drum circle directory is updated regularly. Thanks for your comments, support, and the kind words. I really appreciate it.

    Need Some Drum Circle Advice?
    If you need some advice, suggestions, ideas, or anything at all about hosting any form of drum circle,
    I am more than happy to try and help you along. Even if you arn't sure what kind of drum might be right
    for you, or your group, just email me and I will try to help you out. I don't actually sell drums,
    but I do have years of experience with most major brands, styles, and retailers.

    I can suggest the places to you I've bought mine from. If you are wanting to host or facilitate drum circles,
    this art form has evolved a lot in the last 10 years alone. Art can be very subjective. There used to be only
    one or two widely accepted ways to facilitate drum circles. Just like there are many ways to paint art,
    now there are dozens of styles all around the country, and around the world.

    300 page book, "A Practical Guide To Hand Drumming And Drum Circles"
     If your desire is to get much more in depth with this, please consider picking up my book. It goes into
    starting a drum circle, or drumming program, and how to keep it fresh and interesting for all different
    kinds of groups. I cover all of this, and much more in great detail. The page link for it is below.

    There is increasing recognition of the health benefits of music therapy, particularly facilitated
    hand drumming, which is what I do for a living. Unfortunately, places where the people who benefit
    the most, such as DEAF, senior centers and special needs orgs can not afford to pay for this.
    I have never recieved any grants, assistance, or funding.

    If you would be willing to make a purchase or contribution of any amount to help me continue to provide
    therapeutic music to groups like this, it would help out a little. Please click on the purchase links,
