- This unique presentation explores the use of recreational music-making to promote mental, physical, spiritual, and community wellness.
Robin Cardell has been facilitating community drum circles in the Fox Valley area for 25 years, and during that time he has facilitated many rhythm based events for area schools, church groups, drug and alcohol treatment programs, and assisted living facilities. He has developed programs for a wide variety of special populations such as special needs, bereavement groups, and families dealing with serious illness. Cardell operates the Oshkosh Rhythm Institute, a drum studio that houses an awesome collection of drums and percussion instruments from all over the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I attend a drum circle every friday night where between 70-100 people show up and make a LOT of noise. For anyone who has never been part of a drum circle, I urge you to try it at least once. The rhythm will permeate ever fibre of your being.....then the dancing starts and mayhem ensues.
J Ashton hi There. Where do you go to on Fridays for the drum circle? Where I live is on Sundays and I can’t make it. Thanks and have a great day.
Treasure island, Florida has a drum circle on the beach every Sunday 2pm until sunset! Everyone invited!
that one is great!
There is nothing quite like being in a drum circle that is cooking.
Drum kit, djembe, congas, bongos, cajon, timbales, doumbek, marching drums, orchestral percussion, whatever drum you play, it just makes you feel better!!!!!! The drums are awesome in words that just can’t be explained!!! The way that they sound is all that you need to pick up a pair of sticks and start playing, and sometimes, you don’t even need sticks!!!! All you need are your two hands!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with everything you’re saying!!!
The audience did great!!! LOVE the flute instrument you played. What a great educational background to boot!! Enjoy your drum circles!!
There is something primal and spiritual about the feeling, sound and vibe of a drum circle or similar. It erases all of the societies cares and provides me with an unparalleled freedom
i believe everything you said. I'm a witness. I came from drummer family. Everybody can drum except me until I stop staring that conga at the corner of the room but start tapping it. I still practice and getting good at it at a later age.
The powerful energy that arises when people drum together, get out of their mind and into the flow is amazing. I've only started attending drum circles for a month or 3. Everytime my mind is blown feeling the energy and after effects. I hope to see/hear intuitive drumming being integrated into our modern society more.
beautiful
More unity and a better world! I feel happier and healthier after participating for a few weeks...it s my favorite activitie...nice people with a commun purpose 💖✌
Love your presentation!
My first drum circle experience was at my first Dead show as well! Tempe, AZ 1990 -- I was HOOKED -- to both, but I gotta say that the drum circles fed my sould even more.
I bought some bongo drums made of clay pots and sheepskin pads in Tangiers over 20 years ago. They've sat as decorations since that time. Watching this video, i took them out an began to play along. Man, it felt good. I cant wait to get a bigger drum and join my first drum circle.
Hahaha! That is so nice! Me too I am now looking for a drum!!!
Great feeling drumming and establishing that rhythm with folks. Healing. You'll feel it.
I’m thinking about starting a drum circle. It warms my heart thinking of bringing my community together in this way.
Me too. Have you started it? I took the Health Rhythms with Christine Stevens for facilitating. Its been a few years since the class, but lots took place in between and in a better place to do so.
Robin teaches drumming at my camp
Fantastic intuitive inclusive Drumming that builds up to a lovely Tune & Rhythm ! Krutagnyatalu - Gratitude in the Telugu language of the Southern part of Bhaarat ( India) with it's mind boggling variety of percussionists and singers. ❤
I miss grateful dead parking lot drum circles. I need a drum circle but I don't live in a hip place :( and I don't drum necessarily (so cant start one). Yes, drum circles drive to the core the soul.
Wonderful words and presentation. . . Very sincere and moving. Thank you for your passion to the community and to all drum circle experiencers. :)
I'm searching to get my first drum right now! I get so excited when I come across a drum circle
Hi there Per-Imp, how did you get on with your Drum search and playing this last year?
I loved your presentation Robin! My journey is very similar to yours. Thanks for spreading the good news of the drum circle activity so sincerely!
Hey, Robin!! Great to see you again. Thanks for spreading the health benefits info, and the story of Fanga: how Baba popularized the dance from Primus, and the Yoruba/AfrAm hybrid of the song--created by LaRoque Bey. Excellent!
All good, allways in all ways.
Thanks for the Joy.
Man. David olatunji got people started In all towns I ever had bands in . I lead a circle up at national cathedral for old people on Friday afternoons y'all come on by.
This was amazing! Thank you.

Awesome talk!
Astounding.
I have a similar story as you! Now I am making ceramic drums!
Splendid.
I play darbuka and I heal everyday 😀😊
Actually enjoyed.
What Kind of Flute is Robin Cardell playing?!
Amen!
This guy is beautiful; love what he does and says! He did say "non-traditional", but Native American drone flute is a bit much...
Maybe it was a Hellenic shepherd's twin pipe....
First
You were doing so well until that flute thing. The point and purpose of drum circles are, hold on, drums. So many people think a non drum contribution to the circle is fine because they don't have or desire to play nor want to drum. We not only get flutes, but percussion drums, guitars, cowbells, violins, harmonicas, and so on. All of them sound fine in and of themselves but a drum circle should remain pure. Drums and the variations of them. You were doing so well and out of the blue you started playing a flute like thing. WTF?
Robbnok, I am a fan and go to Robin's drum circles, so I will barge in and explain. We do believe in keeping it a drum circle, and not a jam session. However, in this area the feeling is more important than the rules. NOBODY leaves a drum circle feeling anything negative. Flute was introduced because of the the Oneida Indian reservation to a lot of the drummers. We love it all so much that anybody who keeps coming expands their skills. However, we all instinctively hold the drum supreme and the flutes or other instruments are used sparingly. Since we have belly dancers in this area, they have influenced some of the circles also, with Middle Eastern rhythms, also. They also attend drum circles to dance here. But don't worry, the drums rule!
WTF 🤦🏿♂️ It’s the Caucasity for me!…my ancestors don’t approve.
Please, public speakers: HYDRATE BEFORE SPEAKING. The mouth noise thing is so distracting. I came to hear what you are speaking about, not an ASMR video.
There's a difference between constructive criticism and being egocentric. Don't let any public speaking training or ego formed from that take over your ability to hear a beautiful message. I heard it loud and clear.
Tacky tacky tacky. Excellent message. Love it.
Did u consider that he sounded anxious, and anxiety can cause dry mouth? I know from personal experience. I can’t believe you were so inconsiderate. His message was perfectly clear and he was well spoken. Always one person to say something negative.
