Drum therapy


Drumming accelerates your heart and bloodstream just like aerobic training. During this process, both the left (rational, linear) and the right (creative, intuitive) brain hemisphere are employed. Each of the hemispheres emits different wave frequencies. Playing drums syncs the front and bottom of the brain, in addition, it integrates nonverbal information from lower brain structures into the frontal cortex and creates a sense of delusion, understanding, clarity and conviction. Thus, playing drums is like a deep meditation – it allows you to get into a unified state of consciousness.
Playing drums directly unites a man with Earth vibrations, slowing downour brain waves to 8 cycles per second, which is the same frequency as our planet, moreover, drumming also heals a human energy field.
Improved IQ results can now be added to the benefits of playing drums.
Scientists have discovered that playing drums improves children's intelligence ratio (IQ). Earlier studies have shown that learning music enhances a child's reading and mathematical skills, but a new study shows that tapping can improve a person's overall level of intelligence. Playing drums forces your brain to work in a way that only a few activities are able to do. The ability to understand notes and analyse how different rhythms sound and match is a very complicated mind process. Research results show that this kind of regular brain activity increases IQ levels.
In a study by Dr. Glenn Shellenberg of the University of Toronto, the IQ tests for 6-year-old children improved significantly after attending the drumming lessons. The study involved 144 children who were divided into 4 groups, learning drumming, vocal training, artwork, and no lessons, respectively. Children who learned to play drums received an average of 7 points higher in repeated IQ tests. The vocal lessons takers improved the score by 6 points, the art lesson takers by 5 points, while the group, which didn't have additional lessons, by 4 points.
Percussion instruments are the fastest growing segment of the music instrument industry.
The benefits of the various percussion instruments are becoming more prominent and widely recognised. They enhance musical coordination and brain activity, serve as physical therapy and a way to reduce stress, they enhance social skills, such as the ability to work in a group. In addition, playing drums disciplines, enhances self-awareness and develops abstract thinking.
Increasingly, drumming among researchers and scientists also gains recognition as a therapy method.
Neurologist Barry Bitman of the Mind-Body Wellness Center in Mindville, Pennsylvania, conducted a study on the benefits of drumming. It was revealed that the number of natural killer cells able to fight diseases increased in patients who participated in the activities of drum-playing groups. Bitman tested a blood condition in a series of experiments for a 111 healthy man. Neurologist points out that participants in all groups decreased cortisol (a hormone indicating the presence of stress), but only the active drummers group experienced a significant increase in the number of natural killer cells. According to Bitman, the cause of this difference is the ability of self-express, work in groups and the rhythmic drumming to reduce stress.
Sound waves have a positive effect on body cells
Ultrasound, for example, can help the immune system creating more cells to fight diseases. Consequently, playing drums makes it possible to strengthen the body.
Drum therapy is known in this world for thousands of years.
This is being pursued by shamans in Mongolia and by miniankian healers in the west of Africa in order to maintain physical, mental and mental health. Modern studies confirm the therapeutic effect of ancient rhythm techniques.
Other studies also show that the drumbeat appeals, heals and helps focus on patients with Alzheimer's, as well as children with autism and speech disabilities, teens with emotional disabilities, and people who recover from addictions.
Playing percussion instruments is a valuable tool to fight not only against stress, fatigue and anxiety, but also against diseases such as hypertension, asthma, arthritis, high blood pressure, mental diseases, migraines, cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, paralysis, emotional disorders and a broad range of physical disorders.
