Arthur Hull

Arthur Hull

Arthur Hull is an internationally renowned percussionist. He is seen by many as the person who conceived and developed the idea of the facilitated community drum circle. He now travels the world training drum circle facilitators.

'Playshops'

Hull ran his first intensive "Drum Circle Facilitator's Playshop" in Hawaii in 2000, and has hosted them there annually since then. Although his playshops are now in demand all over the world, these Hawaii events are still the most heavily attended, and are seen as 'the' place to undergo the training.

He also designs and promotes drums for drum manufacturers Remo [http://www.drumcircle.com/vmc/remo/drums.html] , and creates experiential teambuilding and leadership events.

He has published two books:The first "Drum Circle Spirit: Facilitating Human Potential Through Rhythm" is a handbook for anyone wanting to work with drums with non musicians. The second "Drum Circle Facilitation" is an extension of the first, and the result of ten years of running training courses across the globe.The books are the handbooks for his courses.

Awards

He was winner of the 2005 Calabash Award [http://www.cruzy.org/interview_Arthur_Hull.php] In 2000 and 2002 he was awarded Drum Magazine’s [http://www.drummagazine.com/] Drummie Award for Best Drum Circle Facilitator.

Hull's facilitated drum circles are specifically "non" culturally specific. Though African djembes may predominate, many other styles of drums and percussion are in evidence. The teaching at a facilitated drum circle is 'teaching without teaching' - participants are playfully encouraged to create their own in-the-moment rhythms and sounds. Freed from the pressure to get things right, people can relax and let the rhythms play "them". Many, having become comfortable with their drum through such play, will go on to learn specific rhythms and cultures.
