JanJan Drumming 🎶 Hi, I’m Janice – and I drum for wellbeing. 🥁

Just weeks before my 60th birthday, I was diagnosed with ADHD. It’s helped me cope, connect, and thrive.

It explained a lot—but more importantly, it helped me understand why drumming has been so powerful in my life. For over 20 years, I’ve been drumming, learning from some of the worlds greatest drumming teachers near and far. Now, through JanJan Drumming, I get to share that gift with others. I run workshops for:
🌱 Wellbeing & emotional regulation
🏫 Schools (nursery to college)
🧠 Neurodiverse individuals & dementia groups
💃 Ecstatic dance events (I drum live with DJs!)
🎉 Children’s birthday parties
💼 Corporate team-building
❤️ And soon, women’s refuges & prisons—spaces that need rhythm the most. Whether it’s through a story for toddlers or a powerful community circle, I believe everyone has a beat—and every beat matters. If you’d like to bring drumming into your space, or just follow the rhythm of what I do, you’re warmly invited to follow along. 💛

I had a great time telling a story about Nala and the Rain Drum to the local Rainbows. As they left the heavens opened and one little girl proudly said to her Mum "we did this"

We’ll start together, find the rhythm, and then let it flow — with a little gentle leadership sprinkled in to keep us connected.
Just hands on drums, listening, responding, and playing together.
Bring your rhythm & Food and Drinks to share.🪘

Why I always begin with clapping..........

It gently warms the hands, brings attention into the body, and helps the group find a shared rhythm before we move to the djembe.

Clapping supports focus and coordination, but it also does something deeper — it helps settle the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and create a sense of safety and connection in the group.

Then we drum.
