that can say a lot

What a small-minded view of things you are expressing. He is bringing exposure to this practice to masses of complete novices who would otherwise never try this practice. Once they are comfortable/confident, they can go have willy nilly drum circles any time. He creates space for people to develop confidence that they may not have ever otherwise developed.

@@jiminicricket5226 no. He is teaching people to be drum circle "facilitators"

@@someguy4131 And then they can go on to expose laypeople to this practice also...not sure what your point is. You just sound like a hater.

@@jiminicricket5226 wrong. Im a purist. The magic of a drum circle comes from the heart and soul of the drums. The ORGANIC flow of the rhythm, the ORGANIC rise and fall of the tempo, the ORGANIC flood of emotion as the beat courses through the group. Each in turn feeling the pulsing magical flow of the beat. The ORGANIC and NATURAL knowledge of when and where to hit the skin as the drummers FEEL the ebb and flow.......not from a facilitator. If he TRULY wanted to spread the knowledge, magic, and love of world drums.....he would teach people the bass, slap, and hit spots....then sit them in a circle, shut up, and let the music be CREATED. Not facilitated or forced. EVERY drum circle has that one guy or lady that ruins it for everybody else by trying to facilitate the circle. The "facilitator" is hated by REAL drummers. A "facilitator" is the guy or lady that cant actually TRULY FEEL the magic....so decides to try and be in charge so they can stand out, be in charge, or feel they are more important than they are. As the saying goes, "those that cant do....teach". If he wants to be a part of something special, if he wants to spread the magic, and if he wants to "feel important".....the best thing he can do is: bring people together, sit down, shut up, and just play the damn drum

@@someguy4131 I think you're being really rigid in your thought process. I lived in Buenos Aires and attended La Bomba de Tiempo concerts/parties/drum circles and drum walks weekly for many months. They are some of the most incredible and talented percussionists in the world! They always have a facilitator/conductor and it's brilliant to be a part of. Some people actually enjoy being led. It does not make them not a "real" "natural" or "organic" drummer. I think it's your ego that needs to be checked, not the man who made this informative and free video. And if you watched the whole video, he clearly states that facilitators are meant to "get out of the way, and stay out of the way." Just my humble thoughts...
