Researchers at Canterbury Christ Church University are trying to promote drumming as an alternative therapy. They say evidence from studies - carried out in the United States - shows drumming helps to combat anxiety, depression, drug addiction. The health benefits are so good, they say, it should be available on prescription. For PM, Yvonne Murray went to a drumming workshop on the Folkestone Campus and you can hear her report tonight. Here are some of her words and pictures:
