What was studied
Interpretative phenomenological analysis examined 11 individual interviews and focus groups with 28 further participants in UK drumming programmes.
What it contributes
The same research program's 39 participants described emotional, psychological and social benefits through positive affect, agency, accomplishment, engagement/flow, identity and connectedness.
Where the evidence stops
Qualitative IPA, n=39; no long-term sustainability assessment and overlaps the same research program/sample reported by Perkins et al. These 39 participants must not be counted again as an independent sample from Perkins et al. (2016).
One drumming programme, related analyses
These papers come from the same UK group-drumming research programme. The 2016 Perkins and 2018 Ascenso qualitative papers analyze the same 39-person sample, not independent replications. The Fancourt controlled study is a related programme report; its participants must not simply be added to the qualitative sample.
