Can music put you into a trance?

A client asked me this today, "can music put you into a trance?" She sounded quite skeptical and I just wonder how many people doubt this capability. I guess technically, it's rhythm that puts you into a trance. That's what shamanic drumming is all about. The persistant, repetitve beat of a hand-held drum or most any kind of drum, will eventually put you into an altered state. Once there (in an altered state) all kinds of things can happen.

Anyone ever been in an altered state induced by shamanic drumming?
