Warm greetings,

Join me and embark on a rhythmic journey into our remarkable humanity. My passion for music and drums intersects with a deep commitment to community service, especially to serve our youth and elders.

I began my studies at Augusta University, researching biology with a focus on the botanical worlds. My path then guided me to study sustainable farming in Indiana.

Driven by a thirst for authentic experience and a deep trust in the healing power of Music, I immersed myself in the transformative world of drumming. The programs I've trained under include: HealthRhythms by REMO, REI by The Strong Institute, and the Rhythm2Recovery drumming for social wellness.

As a member of the Drum Facilitators Guild, I invite you to join me on a rhythmic excursion utilizing time tested and scientifically supported methods. My mission is simple: to spread healing through the timeless truth of The Drum. Let's create harmonious moments together, where each beat resonates with joy and connection.

Profound Origins

Why Drumming?

No matter how far back we explore into the past, drums are present. From the bone flutes and animal hide stretched over hollowed tree trunk to the sophisticated designs of our current age, the importance of the drum for our species is evident. Every ceremony of every ancestor was accompanied by rhythmic instruments of some form or another. Long has it been well understood that drums infuse their surroundings with presence, joy, and unity. What can this instrument do for you?

Time is a kind of rhythm, and the drum has flowed with the test of time.

Many Beats, One Rhythm

Does the rain have rhythm? Is there synchrony between the many hearts beating in one room? Yes. There is an order even in chaos and we are all connected beyond measurable understanding. Few doubt that Music has profoundly increased the quality of life on this Earth. We all have expressions to weave and a songs to share. The power of the drum is one of the best tools we have to access the healing power of music. With each session, with each time we try, with each time we gather, we get better and better- never good. To be "good" at music is to routinely find the joy of being through sound. It can be done alone- but it need not be, Uni Drums is here to help.

"It is always easier to build upon this beauty than it is to pretend that it isn't there and try to build it from scratch.” -Victor Wooten

“It’s time to stop thinking of the drum as just a musical instrument,” said Remo Belli. “Start thinking of the drum as a recreational tool for every family, a wellness tool for every retiree, and an educational tool for every classroom.”

"Music is the language of the Spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife." -Khalil Gibran
