African Master Drummer Joseph Ashong asserts that drumming makes you feel well in mind, body, and spirit and includes all in community.  You enter feeling down, and leave smiling.  African Drumming typically includes drum, voice, movement, and community.  From our heartbeat, our breathing, the pulsing of our blood, our movements such as walking and running, our lives are filled with rhythm and we are MOVING TO THE BEAT.
