Synopsis
Drummer, composer, and mythologist (and one of only two women profiled by Mickey Hart in PLANET DRUM) Layne Redmond presents a comprehensive history of divine and secular drumming by women. Addressing vital spiritual concerns of the modern woman, Redmond shares the way that female rhythm-makers dating back to prehistoric times have shaped society, contributed to spirituality, been repressed, and found a way back out into the mainstream. With a deep, abiding respect for the time-honored tradition of the feminine rhythm-maker, Redmond offers the fruit of a decade of research, discussing the myriad goddesses, mother-figures, queens, and protectoresses she discovered in the art and history of Europe and the Middle East. Every woman who has ever picked up a tambourine, as well as any scholar of history, will find a treasure of fascinating information in this solidly written, beautifully illustrated volume of history and spirituality.

Publisher's Note
In this long-awaited, lavishly illustrated book, drummer Layne Redmond presents an empowering narrative history of the sacred drum in the ancient Goddess civilization, using her extensive collection of images gathered during more than five years of research and travel in the Mideast and Europe. 80 photos & drawings.

Industry reviews
A drummer herself who has taught and performed on the frame drum for many years, Redmond has written an engaging work on the history and meaning of female drumming in ancient spiritual traditions. She bases her work on her travels to ancient sites and other research, tracing the role of sacred drumming from as far back as the Paleolithic era (in the worship of the "Great Mother" or "Great Goddess") and in ancient civilizations in the Near East, India, Greece, and Rome. Along the way, she unearths the first representation of a framed drum at Catal Huyuk (in present-day Turkey), ca. 5600 B.C.E. Redmond even takes us through the rise of Christianity, which silenced both women and drumming in worship, then concludes with the reappearance of drumming in the modern age and its importance as a medium for transformation. Well documented, with an excellent bibliography, this multifaceted study will have great appeal for all readers and especially for music and women's studies collections. Joan W. Gartland, Detroit P.L.
