It is believed that drumming releases the same ‘feel-good’ endorphins as your body after a physical workout, which will help you think clearer, and allow you to focus for longer periods of time during the day. Drumming can be therapeutic and of benefit to all. However, it has been specifically documented to help sufferers of cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, recovering addicts, people with learning difficulties, people with physical disabilities, older people, troubled adolescents and prisoners.  The calming, focusing, and healing effects of drumming, serves as a distraction from pain and grief, help channel anger and express unresolved emotions.
