The first drum circle began with the Bishop Gadsden Memory Care Unit and later a second drum circle began with Healthcare/Assisted Living Unit. Chip Burr, owner of Inner Rhythms in Charleston, SC, was the drum facilitator for each drum circle while CSU Music Therapy student volunteers and Musicorp employee volunteers assisted in helping with drum rhythms and patient interaction. Musicorp supplied the Remo drums and was thrilled to be able to contribute to the betterment of Charleston’s senior community.

Following the event the Manager of Volunteer Services at Odyssey HealthCare of Charleston, Dana Toth stated "I felt honored that Odyssey could be part of such a wonderful and uplifting activity as the Drum Circle.  It was refreshing to be part of a group that was enthusiastic and positive throughout the experience.  I believe that all people involved, especially the residents, felt a sense of fulfillment and joy after the Drum Circle. For those individuals that have a difficult time expressing their feelings and thoughts, this activity gave them a chance to feel a sense of community, and be able to express themselves in a universal way through music."
