Drumming is one of humanity's most ancient and universal activities. Throughout the ages, people worldwide have drummed as individuals and in groups to uplift and empower themselves and their groups.

Recent clinical studies have also conclusively documented some of the many physical, mental and emotional benefits of focused drumming activities.

Jim Greiner is an internationally renowned percussionist, educator, inspirational speaker and leader of rhythm-based activites for corporate, community, school, private and wellness groups. Jim is known for his ability to quickly engage people from all walks of life in the time-tested experience of drumming and rhythm-play, and then guide them on their own journey to deeply explore their own Life rhythms.

Since 1980, Jim has helped tens of thousands of people worldwide to use the power of rhythm to discover, develop and reinforce their core intentions and values, and to reach their full potential to engage in life completely!

Jim's award-winning programs have been proven time and again to:

"Jim Greiner's workshops go far beyond drumming
to the roots of relationship that are longing to emerge in each of us".
- Gary Zukav, internationally best-selling author of "The Dancing Wu-Li Masters" and "Seat Of The Soul" .

"Percussionist Jim Greiner invokes the primal power of drumming to lower the participants' stress, to exercise their minds and bodies
and to bind them together in community".
- PBS special, Healing Quest

"The repetitive, physical nature of drumming, whether vigorous or tranquil, helps release stress and enhance clarity and focus, and has many of the same physical, mental and emotional benefits as Martial Arts, Yoga, Athletics and Meditation. It puts us into the focused, intuitive state that athletes call The Zone, that meditation practioners and Martial Artists refer to as Effortless Mastery,
and that psychologists sometimes call Flow."
- Jim Greiner, interviewed on National Public Radio

Jim has dedicated his life to using drumming and rhythm-play to help people empower and uplift themselves, their families, their workplaces and their communities. His fun, down-to-earth methods are based on fundamental, universal rhythmic principles and life skills, traditional folklore and stories of his four decades of worldwide drumming and teaching experiences.

And yes... You DO HAVE Rhythm!

Rhythm is an integral part of our lives... as it is in ALL of nature. Life IS an interlocking series of internal and external rhythms... from the rhythms of our hearbeats, our breathing, our brain waves and the paterns of our thoughts... to the external patterns we create and reinforce in our daily lives... to the cycles of the day, the months and the years.

Every step of Rhythm Power® contains life-changing lessons and profound Aha!" moments... so that you not only quickly and easily enjoy the experience of playing rhythm instruments... you actually use this experience as a vehicle to learn and reinforce fundamental real-world Life Skills that help you to create powerful, positive Life Rhythms (good habits) that balance the fast-paced, stressful rhythms (bad habits) of modern life.

The results you experience in Jim's rhythm sessions are clear, immediate and uplifting... they are the same positive life lessons that are found in cultures world wide.

You have the power to create, beat by beat the life that you WANT to live!

"The principles that Jim taught our corporation are the
same principles that work for families"
- Karl Poulsen, Finland

"Greiner's methods motivted the students by emphasizing
universal themes of fun, relaxation, commitment, perseverance and patience.
Big smiles lit up the faces of the kids! One father enthusiastically thanked Jim for helping to present to his son, in such a fun and immediate way,
the kinds of values that he was trying to give him in life"
- Drum Business Magazine, about a workshop Jim did in Louisville, Kentucky
