8 Surprising Benefits of Drumming for Mental Health
From Harmony Music Therapy
#1 Drumming Increases Mindfulness
Actively making music or drumming in a group brings a person’s attention to the present moment, allowing them to practice mindfulness in a creative way and giving them a break from worries about the past or future.
#2 Playing Rhythm Can Help You Relax
Drumming can induce deep relaxation, lowering stress hormones in the blood.
#3 Drumming improves your immune system
A neurologist and president of the Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute, Barry Bittman, MD, has shown that drumming actually increases natural T-cells, which aid the body in combating diseases.
#4 Group Drumming Improves Interpersonal Connection
Drumming in a group provides an opportunity to connect to other people in a shared creative experience. People who sing or move in rhythm together tend to work together more cooperatively afterward
#5 Drumming Decreases Stress & Anxiety
Drumming can serve as a method of low-risk exercise while significantly decreasing stress and anxiety levels. Because drumming increases the heart rate, it is a low-to-moderate intensity exercise.
#6 Drumming Activates the Brain
Drumming activates both hemispheres of the brain. It releases endorphins, enkephalins, and Alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with well-being and happiness.
#7 Active Music Making Increases Pain Tolerance
People have a higher pain threshold immediately after singing, dancing, and drumming. Endorphins are released, akin to the “runner’s high.” The active performance of music generates endorphins, not just listening to the music itself.
#8 Drumming Promotes Self-Expression
Drumming is another form of self-expression, allowing for expressing otherwise difficult-to-express negative emotions. Releasing and expressing these emotions in a safe environment allows for emotional catharsis.
