Madras Drum Circle is a facilitated Drum Circle that puts a modern and purposeful twist on the age-old practice of gathering as a community, playing music together, and celebrating life.
The drum has always been a special instrument because it is accessible to everyone and speaks a rhythmic language that is universally understood all around the world.
It is a form of non-verbal communication that transcends all cultures, races, religions, age groups and gender.
When done with the right intention, a drum circle or rhythm event has the power to motivate, transform, and uplift people to new heights. It is an energizing and fun way to deliver a powerful bonding and creative experience, and can even be used to relate valuable life and teamwork lessons to your guests, students, or employees.
Madras Drum Circle can bring this time-tested experience to your next event.

How it works:
An MDC facilitator will come to your establishment and bring all the drums and percussion instruments needed for your guests. All you need to provide is the space and chairs (floor seating ok too especially for kids). Most facilitated drum circles last anywhere from 20-60 mins but your program will be customized to fit your schedule. For companies and schools a Drum Circle event can focus on specific themes such as teamwork, leadership, or self-esteem, and drumming activities are used as metaphors to engage participants in experiential learning. For more specifics on different types of drum circles for different occasions, contact us with any specific questions. Soundar Rajan and Naagarajan facilitate drum circles in Chennai and surrounding areas and travel out of town as well.
