Why are drums so powerful?
From ancient rituals to modern stadiums, drums are at the core of human expression through music. They are the silent storytellers; quick, pounding rhythms can spark excitement, suspense, or pure joy, while slower, steady beats can bring calm. Scientific research backs what musicians have long known: drumming releases endorphins, lifting moods and energizing crowds. The performance aims to awaken our innate connection to rhythm and amplify it with the power of light, creating a sense of unity as the audience experiences these emotions together.
