Re: the ability of music to induce trance
Spacecat,
Drumming and mind entrainment are as old as drums (and creative minds?) themselves. Nothing new as they say here. Do a search on YouTube for shamanic drumming and similar.
As Bob notes, those low frequency beats are easy for a skilled drummer, and particularly powerful for groups of drummers - or even any kind of percussion, even bellringers in church towers!
Don't lose your fascination for this as it is a really wonderful area of 'music'. Does not need playing skills - just sit/lay back listen and enjoy. Much more to music than meets the eye - urrr ear.
