And it is ending with celebrations with drummers drumming. The history of the drum is interesting and the practice of drumming has been in vogue for centuries. Drumming is connected to a lot of religious practices, symbolizing the heartbeat of Mother Earth. In some cultures, it's considered to be evil and conveys only negativity. In some languages, the word for drum is derived from sacred words. Drums are the backbone of a good band. They set the tempo, provide the rhythm and usually sit directly in front of the audience. So, what goes on in your head when you hear the word "Drumming"? "Drumming is cool" - I wouldn't deny that. "I love drummers" - Am I right or wrong? "Drummers are always late" - You heard that one? "Drummers never have time for 'me' " - You thought of that too? See, my point is the stereotypes we carry in our minds are limiting. That's all they are. Stereotypes. And they're wrong. All of them. They're limiting and they're not true. More than that, they dampen our spirits and stop us from achieving our true potential. If you're not a drummer, you'd think drummers are always late. If you're not a singer, you think singers are always rude.

He must keep the beat going in all weather conditions, no matter how hot it is, or how cold it is, or how wet it is, or how dry it is, he has to keep the beat going. And so if a drummer wants to learn this rhythmical drumming he had better get himself a drum and get to work on that drum, because without that quality of keeping a steady beat-going, he cannot advance any further in the world of drummers. Drumming, is an age-old tradition in some cultures that is being passed on from generation to generation. A great drummer is always in high demand by big movie producers. Drummers are the best musicians. They are the backbone of every band, and they keep everyone in rhythm. If you’re a drummer, you know it’s true. So does everyone else. In fact, a recent study conducted by researchers at UCSD shows that drummers are the most important musicians in a band based on their contributions to an album’s sonic and cultural complexity. There is no instrument more complex than a drum set. **Drumming has been part of human history since at least the Stone. I attended a drumming festival and Here are some facts they told us about drummers and their instruments.** Some of these are unreal to me, while some are funny. But I'll share them with you.😁 Fact #1: Drummers have the highest pulse rate of all musicians. Fact #2: Drummers have the most stamina of all musicians. Fact #3: Drummers have a great heart and they can not break their woman's heart. Fact #4: A drum kit weighs more than an elephant. Fact #5: If a drummer gets sick, he or she simply knows which drum to beat. Fact #6: It is easier to snatch a drummer's sticks than a guitarist's pick. Fact #7: A drummer can predict the weather. Fact #8: Drummers are often mistaken for DJs. Fact #9: Not all drummers are short, but all short people are drummers. Thanks for reading ❤️🙏
