INTRODUCTIONThis hand drum book is designed for the non-musician and the musician alike.Its simplistic approach makes hand drumming enjoyable and fun. I've been teaching drums professionally since 1988. I was always searching for books I could teach from. I was never satisfied with the instruction books that I found so I was constantly writing charts for my students. This is the reason I'm writing this book. I also had many students that have come to me from other teachers. The other methods were slow and down right boring. I care about my students and I have known that the process can move quickly if you have the right teaching tools. This book has the progressive steps that really work It includes a large "drum circle" section, which has traditional African, Middle Eastern, Cuban rhythms and more. The Drums that are recommended to use for this book are: Djimbe, Dumbek, Congas, and Duns Duns. With the respect to each of my students, I have learned better structure, consistency, knowledge, and patience. Many rhythms from this book are played on my Multi -Award Winning "Mayan Landing" CD
