Focuses on the popularity of group drumming in the United States. The phrase makes some think of Grateful Dead concerts and drug-induced states of mind. However, this is something pretty new.

Beyond the fun of getting together to make noise, enthusiasts say the benefits of group drumming include healing of both mind and body.
