101 Drum Circle Rhythms For The Hand Drum - 2 CD's
This may be the biggest collection of drum circle rhythms available anywhere. There is over 2 hours of them.
101 rhythms from around the globe, all about a minute long each. (Actually there is 120 of them, but who's counting)
Check out a drum rhythm sample or two below.
African, Bellydancing, Afro-Cuban, Native American, Middle Eastern, World, Blues, R&B, Soul, Funk, Rock and Roll
& lots more. I started doing these drum circle rhythms on CDs & DVD some years ago. I like to hear a new rhythm for a
while so I can get into it, so each rhythm is about a minute long. There's no talking on there, nothing else.
These rhythms from different cultures and countries were all put down on these 2 CD’s for you to enjoy. Try them out at the
drum circle, at gigs, just jamming with friends, and etc. Listen to them in your home sterio, car, make MP3's for your iPod.
Try them out alone or with friends on your djembe, doumbek, ashiko, congas, or any kind of hand drum.
The reason I did this project is sometimes you just can’t remember a new beat to start out with, or just want to pick up
a few different beats to add to your collection. We all get out there now and then and think, “I used up all the rhythms
I know, and can’t think of another one!” Well these 2 CD's should solve it, and keep you busy for quite some time.
These are ideal reference material for drum circle facilitators, or someone who wants to get a drum circle started.
One fun idea to do with a few friends is to pop a CD into a boombox, and after you have the beat going, shut it off
and keep jamming on it. Then move on to the next one and jam on that for a while. The time flys by.
Some of these rhythms you will love, some you may not. Others may inspire you to change them around a little, and make them
your own, depending on your own sense of drumming and style. Please keep in mind, this is not the only way to play these,
it is just to give you an idea how I play them. Everyone's body and hands are different, every drum is different, so I expect
you will change them around a little, and have a little fun with it. All 120 hand drum rhythms are played on a single
djembe drum, all are numbered individual tracks.
There are 62 hand drum rhythms on CD one, and 58 drum rhythms on CD Two.
As a musician, I always appreciated a good value for my money. That's the idea behind my 2 CD's.
You are buying direct from the artist. Thanks in advance for helping to support independent music.
To hear a few samples from the CDs:
I ship the CD's within 3 working days after payment.
(I don't like to wait a long time for things I buy online either)
I do combine on shipping, and always leave feedback if you do first.
You can also pick up my 2 hour DVD of these rhythms here on Ebay. You can see my hands in a close up shot of
the djembe drum to see how the various notes, rhythms and sounds are being made on the video.
Also my 300 page book on hand drumming and drum circles, and live drum circle CD's
