Kalani defines and describes the drum circle in this LIVE episode. A drum circle is a form of community drumming where the participants are free to co-create music through an improvisational process, leading to a product of community value. Drum circles have been around since the late 1950 and early 1960’s as a form a recreational music making, defined by their inclusive and open nature. The term is an American one, given to groups of people who come together to create in-the-moment music for personal enjoyment.

COORDINATED PLAY

Here’s an example of a COORDINATED PLAY experience in the form of Guided Interactive Drumming. Notice that the facilitator is structuring, directing, and leading the kids through a number of different tasks to achieve the desired outcomes. He is also explaining how to think about their actions and what they represent and mean. This example features Kenya Masala, an X8 Interactive Drumming Facilitator.

COOPERATIVE PLAY

Here’s an example of a Community Drum Circle, which is a COOPERATIVE PLAY experience where everyone is making their own choices about what they play, how they play, and even IF they play. Notice that there are some people playing, some listening, and some are dancing.
