Drumming, she stresses, engages the body, mind, and soul, putting joy, passion, vitality, and enthusiasm for life well within the grasp of any reader.

For upwards of twenty years, Canadian drummer and world percussionist Pamela Lynn-Seraphine was engulfed in the music industry, pursuing her childhood dream of becoming a world-class drummer. In 2008, a chronic shoulder injury derailed her dreams and hurled her into the unfamiliar world of academia. As a way to survive the massive identity crisis caused by the loss of her career, Lynn-Seraphine turned her productive obsession with drumming into a highly specialized field of study. In addition to her academic accolades, Lynn-Seraphine spent five years researching and uncovering everything she could about the health benefits of rhythmic entertainment. She currently resides in L.A. California, with her husband, legendary drummer Danny Seraphine.
