Why play the drums?
Drums are great fun to learn to play, they are a great stress reliever too. A host of studies show that drumming can relieve stress, lower blood pressure and strengthen the immune system.
Extended periods of drumming release endorphins and enkephalins, neurotransmitters that act as natural painkillers and mood enhancers. In short, your body signals to you what your neighbours won’t — keep drumming.
“This is the ‘high’ that many drummers feel even hours after playing,” Asif Kahn, a board-certified internist, and avid drummer, wrote in the publication Modern Drummer. “It translates to reducing our systolic and diastolic pressures and also to reducing or smoothing out our heartbeat.” Reducing one’s blood pressure can benefit heart health, which can reduce the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, and breakdowns in the immune system.
According to Michael Drake, author of several books on the therapeutic value of drumming, the fact that playing drums requires a great degree of physical exertion as well as a deep focus on almost every limb and muscle in the body, encourages more emotional release and stress relief than instruments that only require the mental bandwidth of the hands and fingers. That means guitarists and pianists don’t get nearly the same rush.
