Drumming together can be unifying.
The Apostle Paul wrote, …make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” – Philippians 2:2
“Seemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God.”
—Lionel Hampton
“Drumming is the simplest thing that we can do to bring us together.”
—Babatunda Olatunju
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others,
as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10
“The LORD spoke…You shall not lie to one another …
you shall not defraud… you SHALL love your neighbor as yourself;
I am the LORD.” —Leviticus 19:1, 11-18
For a number of years I taught drumming to circles
of the mentally ill and intellectually challenged.
It was amazing to witness such diverse ‘minds’ drumming
the same heart rhythm together.
Every one involved was repeatedly moved
by the ‘unity’ experienced.
