Drums Alive® is the original and only evidence-based drumming fitness, health, wellness program that provides a “Whole Brain & Whole Body” workout which promotes physical, social, emotional, and cognitive health at all life stages.  We work directly with a research team at the University of Chemnitz – Germany, Texas State University, Southern Connecticut State University, and University of Kentucky to prove the claims we make of its effectiveness (https://drumsalive3071.wpengine.com/about/research).  We also worked with a team of school teachers and administrators to ensure we were providing practical and useful teaching tools that address the many demands placed on today’s educators.  Drums Alive® is the first physical education and fitness trend that combines drumming, music, movement, and cognition through a multi-modular, cross-curriculum approach that sparks creativity and critical thinking.  Drums Alive® makes “Learning through Rhythm and Movement” fun and achievable by anyone, regardless of age, or ability.
