Stop singling out things that you don't understand culturally (and to a point racially) to make these statements against...

I hear you... I have no judgement in my posts (at least - yet)
The hand drumming circles are tribal and pagan in orgin - at least from my brief research. I am not sure that it matters a great deal though... Christianity mostly redefined Christmas and Easter too...
I am concerned that most all organized Drum Circles espouse at least some anti - biblical mission statements and goals...

A drum circle is any group of people playing (usually) hand-drums and percussion in a circle. Other instruments and dance can also be incorporated into the drum circle. They are distinct from a drumming group or troupe in that the drum circle is an end in itself rather than preparation for a performance. They can range in size from a handful of players to circles with thousands of participants.
In 1991, during testimony before the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging, Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart stated:
Typically, people gather to drum in drum "circles" with others from the surrounding community. The drum circle offers equality because there is no head or tail. It includes people of all ages. The main objective is to share rhythm and get in tune with each other and themselves. To form a group consciousness. To entrain and resonate. By entrainment, I mean that a new voice, a collective voice, emerges from the group as they drum together. [1]
