I even have a set of drums. ;-) Yes, I know, that isn't what drum circles are all about. I hope I can find a band to play in out there...!
I've played in a drum circle a couple of times, and it can be a lot of fun, depending on how the head drummer runs it. As long as I can improvise, I have a good time.
A drum circle is when a group of people sit or stand around and play drums (african drums for instance) and other percussion instruments.
I have been in circles to where we go at our own rhythm and I have been in circles to where each of us practices certain rhythms and we put them all together. It raises energy. It also puts one into a meditative or trancelike state of mind. Very energizing and relaxing at the same time.
I hope this makes sense to you.
Somebody else may want to put there 2 cents in.

Bring it on, Catman. Any instrument will do and you can improvise. For me, that's what it's all about.

I like to listen to Monk Chants and also to Steel Drums so, I understand what your talking about.. a good American Indian chant can also put me into a nice relaxed mood.

It's all good for the soul.
I enjoy raising energy.
I love steel drums. It's amazing how that sound comes out of something like that. The tuning part of it is what I am fascinated by. I like the lower-pitched ones most, since I'm partial (no pun intended) to low frequencies. I play fretless bass, tuba, bass trombone and contrabass clarinet.
It would be difficult to play a drum set at a low enough volume to work in a drum circle. Besides, I'm not a great drummer. I spread myself thin enough as it is! Individual players would be unhappy trying to hear themselves.
