Ky Washington has performed and toured in Africa, the Caribbean, and Cuba. Ky has worked in the field of Dual Diagnosis and Chemical Dependency since 1975. To add to his credits he has used his drum therapy at Charter Hospital and Bayview Hospital, and has created therapeutic drum circles in Southern California and the Mid West.
The drum or percussive instruments has existed in every culture for thousands of years. Within those cultures, the drum was used for many things including motivation, healing, spirituality, communication, fun and enjoyment.
This treasure has been with us since the beginning of time. No war can destroy it. No religion can claim it. Healers have carried its tune to wounded souls. It reunites you with your own natural rhythm and  helps you find your zone. Drum/music therapy creates cohesiveness, socialization, brings down that cloak, that mask and is able to bring out the inner child. What I called the natural heartbeat which is felt at 5 weeks gestation.
Research has shown music can stimulate damaged areas of the brain that are otherwise unreachable. psychoneuroimmunology and mind-body medicine show that rhythm can enhance the immune system on a cellular level.
