Music reviews of Drum and Dance / 30 Doumbek and Djembe Rhythms
Music Review: Great Instructional CD
Rating: 5 Stars
This CD is superb for increasing your knowledge of Middle-Eastern rhythms. I lead a drum circle, and this CD has been an amazing addition to my 'bag of tricks' as I share rhythms with others. I learn a few of the rhythms before the drum circle, then I teach them to the rest of the group. Needless to say, using this CD makes me look like a pro when I am teaching others (they all think I know what I am doing). I have had absolute beginners thank me after our drum circles for sharing these rhythms in a manner so easy to embrace.
T. Roy's method of helping you memorize difficult patterns is most amazing. If you were to listen to the rhythm alone, you would swear it would be near impossible to learn. However, T. Roy teaches a nmemonic method of syllables that represents different tones and patterns. Before long you will be quickly repeating phrases like "Teka-kaTekaDum", and then playing the pattern is a snap. What a find this CD has been!
Please note: T. Roy recently posted the text for these patterns below the image of the CD (under "Customer Images"). Be sure to download the text as it will facilitate learning the patterns. Nevertheless, you will want to purchase the MP3 album since just studying the text alone will be difficult and won't get you more than studying patterns on any of a dozen websites.
Again, this CD has been a tremendous value for me, one of the best purchases I have made in my journey to becoming a better drummer.
Description of Drum and Dance / 30 Doumbek and Djembe Rhythms
On this hand drum CD, T. Roy clearly demonstrates how to play 30 of the most popular Middle Eastern Rhythms used in music and dance today. His "say it / play it" approach makes learning these ancient rhythms simple and fun. Included in the inset of this CD are the written and spoken phrases for each rhythm. The "cheat-sheet" inset, depicting each rhythm in plain-sentence, spoken verse (not musical notation or some strange code), along with the spoken-word only track of ALL the rhythms (for ease of memorization in the car etc.), are by themselves worth the price of this CD.Simply put, this project is a "must have" for all serious hand drummers and dancers.
