For me. participating in a drum circle is a lot like having coffee. It energizes me. It warms me up. It makes me smile. That is why I call my drum circles Java Boom.
You can have coffee inspired drumming with some coffee rhythms.
With all the options you can drum the rhythm as a group, play them as a sequence or layer them.
Option 1:
Go to your local grocery store and click photos or write names of the brands available. Put them on separate cards. Have members pull a card and drum the rhythm.
Option 2:
Have group members share their favorite coffees and drum the rhythm. These favs shared by Music Sparks Facebook friends can get you started.
- Hot and caffeinated
- Good espresso made on the stove top
- Guatemalan bean from Solar Roast Coffee
- Vietnamese coffee
- Churchill’s Sinless Pastry
- Free (or any in my mug)
- Yahava
- New Orleans’ version of cafe au lait
- Low-foam cappuccino
- Not coffee but Chai tea
You can also add some coffee (and tea) songs to the mix for added enjoyment.
