Neuroscience & drums for cognitive health
Drumming is a protective factor for brain health because it promotes neuroplasticity. We know this from research that observed changes in structure and function of the brain. Participants showed improvements in coordination, focus and memory, while also reducing stress and anxiety, making it a comprehensive workout for body and mind.
This groundbreaking research, confirms the efficacy of drumming as an intervention that helps with concentration, impulses and reduces restlessness, which is beneficial for people who are neurodivergent.
Our research page is a comprehensive collection of papers and case studies covering a range of conditions.

We're developing a toolbox of tutorials, exercises and programmes to help anyone learn the basics of coordination, have fun playing drums and experience the health benefits, regardless of the presence or absence of brain conditions.
