Hands On Drumming! Volume 1, Number 2

Universal keys to hand drumming!

Using a player's-eye-view camera, Paulo Mattioli teaches hand-drummers djembe techniques, tones, and notation. Players are also introduced to the Guinean rhythms of kassagbe (a celebratory rhythm from the coast) and kassa (a family of rhythms for the grain harvest).
