Sounding What's Present
Sounding What's Present
Sounding What’s Present is an invitation to meet yourself through rhythm and listening. With one drum and very few choices, attention is drawn away from thinking and toward sensation, impulse, and timing. You’re not asked to make music or develop patterns, but to let sound arise in response to what’s here — and to stop when it completes. In the simplicity of this field, sound becomes a way of staying with experience as it moves. No musical background is needed. Only a willingness to listen and let what’s present find its voice.
This has changed my relationship to the drum.
I don’t have the same hesitation when I approach it anymore.
I can allow myself to play what flows through me instead of worrying about what I don’t know how to play.
I feel much more confident to play along with others, I can hear rhythms more clearly, and I'm listening more deeply in many dimensions of my life, not only when I'm making music... there are times now when I actually feel lost in the music... in the vibrational field that surrounds me.....and that is pure joy!
I have discovered the truth inside of me. It's expressed authentically through the drum that I play. This energetic connection to source is powerful and nourishing.
