Dear editor,
This is in response to a comment in a letter entitled "Enough is enough" on Jan. 27.
The comment was, 'Who needs adult drumming anyway?'
Current research is verifying the therapeutic effects of ancient rhythm techniques. It indicates that drumming helps healing, boosts the immune system, and produces feelings of well-being. For adults, learning rhythms is a brain booster activity. There are many health benefits; drum circles also help team building and community relationships.
For me, who did not have an opportunity to play music as a child, it is extremely enjoyable and challenging.
B.E. Robinson,
