Q. What is the connection of Trees to Drumming?

We express our gratitude for the wood of the drums we love, a gift from Mother Earth, by each of us planting a single Tree. Planting a million Trees worldwide increases the awareness of our symbiotic relationship with Trees, the lungs of our Mother Earth, and our love for these Trees that provide us with so much, including the drums and other wooden musical instruments for which we have such passion.  A million women together with mindfulness and conscious action can birth a forest of Trees for the health of our world, for a sustainable future for our drums, wooden musical instruments and the music that comes from them.
