Book Awards 2021


The 2021 One Heart - One Spirit Book Awards is honoring “9 Books About Drumming.” The reason we have chosen these specific books is because all the authors appear in our newest ONE HEART MOVIES film, WE ALL JUST NEED TO DRUM! Most importantly, each one of the books is a first-class resource for drumming!
