[richardsimmonsfan08]

the unsung hero of this video is the dad who had to chase his little daughter around after she didn't want to dance with the hippy

[Dearhunter43]

I'd start a drum circle

Who the fuck are you to say this kind of stuff. I was born in asheville 15 years ago and ive never stopped loving it. Just the thought that you can walk down the street and see people dancing for no reason is inspiring. To all you people who leave negative comments why dont you just let people do what they want to do, if its not your town dont fucking waste your time trying to piss us off. We do what we want and we do what makes us happy and thats what makes the asheville so unique and awesome.

[Yellowmedic]

KEEP IT UP GUYS, hard to find a bunch of strangers actively participating like this to make something beautiful together. It's been a while but I hope this still goes on.

[xslumlordx]

@Yellowmedic It sure does, every Friday!

[xickyix]

This actually looks like a pretty diverse group of people. Some dirty hippies, yes, but it's not just white people, and there's people of all ages.

I've never been to a drum circle, but it looks like fun. I don't see why so many people want to piss on these people's parade. It looks like these people are doing something that makes them happy, and aren't causing any trouble, so why look down on it? Instead of alienating yourselves further, why not just join in? You'd thank yourself for it.

[kshepherdgmail]

@theDCsound I got to participate in a drum circle at a renaissance festival, it's one of the most amazing experiences a person can have.

[teufulhund420]

Although there are some limits....child molestors enjoy fucking little children and I think they should recieve a bullet in the head.

[teufulhund420]

We are losing our freedom because of the power hungry asses we choose to elect to office. Not because a group of individuals chooses to gather and perhaps whine instead of choosing action. If that makes them happy then sobeit. It matters not to me as long as they are not infringing upon my right to happiness and freedom. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness....remember that little nugget of wisdom? Criticizing others for doing the things they enjoy. That is what is killing this country.

[Gihaal]

The only good hippie, is one that is set on fire and burnt to death.

[glorplaxy]

god they suck at everything.

their drum beats suck. crude, grossly simple...executed without technique or skill

they can't dance. they look ridiculous when they try to wave about and only further the stereotype that white people really have no moves.

This is just a fashion statement for aging hippies and their admirers who are trying to be like them. These people are caught up in some ideal that they saw on TV when they were kids and they haven't been able to get out.

[ob2kanob]

it's meditation with a beat

[FredFerdberger]

apparently the only ones with any rhythm at all are the ones playing the drums. Ha Ha. Hippies dance funny.

[sirus027]

I guess hippie phobiacs just can't stand to see hippies having fun for free cause their precious 401ks took a nose dive in this economy and have to take it out on people who are free. Instead of wasting their hatred on youtube, they should just go back to their carbon copy wives and carbon copy kids and carbon copy suburbs and take their vicadin. Homogeneity is dying - wake up the world cultures are mixing stupids. Your world is dying!

[italianman2112]

Stated PERFECTLY !!!! THANK YOU :)

[Gihaal]

I hit a hippie drum circle the other day in my Ford F-150 and I think I killed some of them. The police came to me and shook my hand. Nothing of value was lost lol

[kenfo0]

You seem to be saying you are better than others and are happy people (many retirees) have lost security vis-a-vie retirement funds. You call people not like you "carbon copies", but I see a bunch of conformists in this vid...don't see anyone dressed well, clean with a haircut...THAT would be non-conformist for this group. the world is dying, as is freedom, because of simpleton, arrogant, uneducated asses like you. don't fight for right...sit around in a drum circle and whine about others..

[glorplaxy]

Carbon copies? Take a look at this video. Every single one of these hippies is a carbon copy. You just happen to think higher of them because they wear a different uniform that appeals to your taste. But, they are still wearing a uniform nonetheless.

[marissamickles]

@glorplaxy

Who cares?

Why can't we all just get along?

You do what makes you happy, sirus027 can do what makes him/her happy, I'll do what makes me happy, and the "hippies" in the video will do what makes them happy.

[GodSavedHimself]

i must have stunk like 1966 all over again!

[joeybushmen]

Imagine how bad it must have smelled there.

[butchdingo]

This video makes me want more guns. Not because I want to kill hipies, they just obviously need protection for when Jesus comes back.

[tinglywoowoo]

I've attended and it's a dull, monotonous affair, replete with poseurs jerking around to something that isn't even good music for toilet training.

[glorplaxy]

It's funny that you got so many negative ratings when what you said is so true. Drum circles are full of idiots who create really bad, crude rhythms. It's not even about drumming...it's about a bunch of trustafarian hippie-wannabe jackasses with their stupid clothes and hairdos trying to fit into some sort of niche that should have died a long time ago.

[tinglywoowoo]

The negativity seems to flow freely from the ones who wear the uniform: dreads, bandanas, ragged tanks and flip-flops. I believe they consider themselves to be members of the "nonconformity tribe." They also consider language proficiency to be passe.

[BLAZEnaples]

the absolute second that you judge another person is where you totally DONT GET what its all about....

[kenfo0]

you just judged that judgers don't get it....ooops.

[BLAZEnaples]

grow up

[kenfo0]

i did. that's why i'm not a smelly hippie who pretends to be all about freedom, peace and love. want to see some hippie "love"? bogart that joint and watch all the "my" talk and "peace" come pouring out.

[BLAZEnaples]

thou dost protest too much

[avgaspasser]

Thank (insert your deity here) I left this fucking town 4 years ago.

[zxain]

you fucking idiots have turned this into a stupid fashion statement. it is no longwr about drums..it is about who has the biggest djembe from guitar center and who has the raunchiest dredlocks in the entire fucking ordeal. it isn't about drumming,...it's about a fucking fashion statement..who can be the most alternative and retarded.s

[artsmith1972]

tend to agree with your statement- people are too chickenshit to just be themselves. They think they have to dress, and look a certain way to fit the spirit or vibe, when in reality its got absolutely nothing to do with that. Too many wanna-be wookie stinkin ass people walking around cus they think its "cool".

[zxain]

Hah, speaking of such, I went to another drum circle, if you can call it that.

It seemed more like an ass smelling, bad djembe fest.

[28752mark]

pitchard park is the shittttttt

love geting high and going to listen to the jam sessions that go on :P

[BiggDaddyGregory]

The real Hippie scene is in San Francisco,Californias "Haight-Ashbury" District.Golden Gate Parks-"Hippie Hill".

[kenfo0]

hippies are no good.

[crackythewondertroll]

my mission in life is to drink cough syrup, talk about dec 12 2012, and hit drums.

[TyeDyeGuyRy]

I love all the hate on here. It's about having fun dood.

[circusboy90210]

Really what you need for drumming is a balloon hat . find me @ pack square & I'll hook you right up. ;-)

[UnreasonableMan]

Hey Circus Boy.  You made a bunch of stuff for my kid on Friday night. :)

[circusboy90210]

would you like a slushi with that sir?? thanks for shopping come again, please. ;-)

[isaacnd200]

Hahahaha fucking losers...I lived there for 10 years.Seems like every stinky ass hippie in the US comes through the A-hole. Selling drugs , narcing on each other and generally alienating themselves from everyone else. Smoke some more dope and talk about how you'll change the world...tomorrow. No clue about life in the real world.

[gtrumpnc]

You lived there? Sorry I missed you. Should have given you more of a lead...

[jesseth26]

that guy in the really colorful shirt is in just about everyone of these asheville drum circle videos and there's tons of them.

[OooooGODooooO]

My mission in life is travel around America and join drum circles, and add my energy to the mystical circle of love.

[jujube2215]

Oh my god, the dude in the funky colored shirt dancing was my teacher 2 years ago!! Check him out!

[rexsis]

ditto sparrowhawk! Asheville goes down as the worst place I have ever live. So glad to be far away from there!

[sparrowhawk72]

Iam so glad I left that area...too many smelly dirty hippe wannabees in downtown Asheville...stinky!

[ZZDERT]

keep on drumming
