HealthRHYTHMS Group Empowerment Drumming
To introduce our neighbors to the benefits of HealthRHYTHMS Group Empowerment Drumming we are offering regular group drumming opportunities at our Remo Recreational Music Center in North Hollywood. This is not the same as a community drum circle. It is a research-based group drumming protocol that has demonstrated significant health benefits. Check the Events link on our website to view more information about these events.




Alongside Traditional Medicine
Our efforts are intended to serve as the impetus for hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, senior centers, nursing homes and insurers to integrate group drumming as a valuable intervention within traditional medicine. These organizations have an exceptional opportunity to offer a unique activity that combines proven health-promoting strategies including self-expression, group support, nurturing, exercise, stress reduction and of course, music making.




Biological Benefits of Drumming
HealthRHYTHMS is on the forefront of establishing a solid foundation for proving the biological benefits of drumming. Neurologist Barry Bittman, M.D. and his renowned research team discovered that a specific group drumming approach

significantly increased the disease fighting activity of circulating white blood cells (Natural Killer cells) that seek out and destroy cancer cells and virally-infected cells. Along with conventional medical strategies, Dr. Bittman includes group drumming in all of his disease-based programs at the Mind-Body Wellness Center.
