 Here
is a well-organized instructional videotape and notebook for drummers of all experiences
and backgrounds. It begins with instructions on how to hold the instruments and then
demonstrates, step-by-step; the various sounds made with the fingers and hands. After
working on basic duple and triple patterns the student learns some catchy rhythms. There
follows some intermediate studies with standard meters of 2,3,4,6, and 8 beats, as well
as, the more unusual 5 and 7 beats. The video goes on to illustrate some advanced
techniques and Rhythmic Diminution, the basis of drumming improvisation in India. Diddle
the Doum, a 3 1/2 minute solo using rhythms inspired by the traditional
stick-drummer’s Paradiddle, concludes the tape. Duration: 1 hour Includes: 16 page
notebook.
