“Vancouver’s drum circles are home to hundreds of people every sunny Tuesday and Sunday at Stanley Park’s Third Beach and Spanish Banks. Seeing hundreds of people gathered together in one place to laugh, dance, and play music serves as a reminder that Vancouver has its own unique fun-loving culture. The drum circles have played an important role in influencing Vancouverite culture to the extent that arguably they can be viewed as a small-scale cultural group, one that is formed to bring communities together and to promote the active production of music as opposed to the continuous passive consumption of it.”
