Mouthdrumming : Wes Carroll's Instructional Site For Vocal Percussion   

Wes is an eclectically-talented musician living in San Francisco, CA. He first began teaching vocal percussion -- the art of human beatbox -- in 1995, and has taught thousands of students in private lessons, lectures and demonstrations. He is the "drummer" for The House Jacks of San Francisco. Wes can make about a zillion noises with his mouth, including a bunch of dead-on imitations of drum sounds. But it's not just snares and cymbals. It's also dozens of different "electronic effects" -- all created without any electronics. Wes also has an amazing talent for teaching. Whether it be vocal percussion, a cappella performance, preparation for a recording, or any of many other topics, Wes is able to take complex information and deliver it in an easy-to-understand and fun way.

Drumming Circle Information   

Welcome to the Rhythm Revolution™ Home Page A Community Drumming Experience. We are a Chicago, Illinois, rhythm based events organization headed by John Yost in Chicago, Illinois. Rhythm Revolution™ was created to use music to break down the barriers that separate people from their community, to empower people to heal, to educate, and entertain themselves, We strive to reinstall music and drumming as a world cultural tradition. A drumming circle, or a drum circle for short, is a group of people creating and sharing a rhythmical and a musical experience. The instruments used are usually percussion instruments divided into four timbres; Drums, metal, wood and shakers. The circle format is used to optimize listening and communicating. In a circle everyone is an equal participant with no person in the circle any more or less important. The sustained repetition of the pulse results in a rhythmic phenomenon called rhythmic entrainment. Entrainment uplifts the self physically, mentally and emotionally. There is a calming effect on the body and an energizing effect on the spirit.
