Why this instrument?

Sharpens Timing and Coordination

Drumming demands independence of all four limbs, building exceptional coordination and timing. Research shows drummers develop superior internal timing mechanisms that benefit all aspects of motor control.

Manning & Schutz, Royal Society Open Science, 2016

A Powerful Outlet for Energy and Stress

Drumming provides a physical, rhythmic outlet that reduces stress hormones and increases endorphins. Group drumming studies have shown significant decreases in anxiety and improvements in mood.

Bittman et al., Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, 2001

Develops Executive Function in Children

The multi-limb coordination and pattern recognition required by drums strengthens working memory, attention control, and cognitive flexibility — key executive function skills for academic success.

Slater et al., Journal of Neuroscience, 2013
