Drum Circles and their various forms
Festival goers wanting participatory music will by psyched by the new Stone Circle located deep at the end of the Orange Court. In case you are new to drum circles, Wikipedia categorizes this ancient form of music group into essentially three categories: 1) culturally specific drum circles like samba or African drums, 2) facilitated drum circles led by dudes like Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead or the Boredomes 77 Boa Drum, and finally, 3) anarchic circles where anything can happen.
The web is full of some pretty terrific drum circles. My favorite is the old hippy variety this one at Woodstock, New York, or one that has been going at Hippie Hill San Francisco's Golden Gate Park ever since Summer of Love in '67
Then there was one at Bonaroo when a couple hundred people began banging on an empty shipping container.
Heck, throw a few rocks into an empty beer or blow into an empty soda bottle and you can also get a pretty nice jam going. You don't need Youtube for that!
