Page 4: Drummers

Drum circles were everywhere providing a rhythmic background at art installations, theme camps, and for ceremonies. The drummers at right are in the Center Camp surrounded by dancers enjoying the show.

Long-time burner camp, New Havoc, specializes in drumming and fire art. Dozens of drums of all sizes were set up and some drum jams (below) went literally all night stopping only as the sun was rising.

The biggest drum on the playa. New Havoc's giant drum buffets and vibrates Linda (at left) with the force of its beat.

More drummers provide the beat for dancers inside this fire sculpture. We spent several evenings dancing around and within this fire.

The strange spottiness in the dark areas of the photo is because this was all going on in a dust storm. The flash on the camera picked up the dust.
