"Jim Greiner is one of the pioneers of community drumming and is perfectly poised
to spearhead this movement!  His work with corporate, community, school and therapeutic groups
is acclaimed worldwide."
- Drum! Magazine

For thousands of years people worldwide have used group drumming to energize minds and bodies, strengthen community bonds, reinforce common values and goals, and to celebrate life!

Recent clinical studies have also conclusively documented some of the many physical, mental & emotional benefits of purpose-driven drumming.

Jim Greiner is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning percussionist, educator, community drumming leader and inspirational speaker. His programs for corporate, community, school and private groups are rooted in over thirty years of his worldwide drumming and teaching experiences, including two years in Africa where he was profoundly moved by the way rhythm can be a vehicle for invigorating and empowering people, and aligning them with common goals and values.

Jim is renowned for developing powerfully uplifting rhythm-based activities that quickly engage people from all walks of life, and groups of all types and sizes in the universal, time-tested experience of group drumming. His contemporary adaptations of this age-old activity make it fun and easy for everyone, regardless of musical experience, to literally synchronize their individual rhythms and personalities with those of other people, to create powerfully productive community rhythms.

"A truly fun and memorable exercise in team coordination and creativity "
- Ralph Norris CEO, Air New Zealand

Please see our Percussion Education page for more information about developing your own rhythm-based activities and drum circles.

"The invigorating and community-building power of a group rhythm is created by the participants playing interlocking, interdependent patterns, just as a community of any kind thrives when its members contribute their
individual skills, talents and personalities to shared goals.

"The repetitive, physical nature of drumming, whether vigorous or tranquil, helps release stress and enhance clarity and focus, and has many of the same physical, mental and emotional benefits as Martial Arts, Yoga, Athletics and Meditation.

"Sharing the experience of making music together raises spirits, creates personal and group power,
and a spirit of accomplishment, in a fun, uplifiting atmosphere."

- Jim Greiner; interviewed for the PBS special, "Healing Quest"
