New Ensemble Drum Class Starts

Tuesday April 15, 2010 marked the beginning of a new drum class I am offering to help expand the knowledge and experience for many of my students who have repeated my basic hand drumming class over and over again. We will be studying a variety of different drums and percussion instruments in this class that make up the complete ensemble for a particular piece. 
Presently we are studying the Garangadon Rhythm from the Mandingue culture. We are starting out with the 3 djembe parts before we get into the bell and dunun parts. We will work on this for the first 3 classes and then we will move onto the basics of the Talking Drum for the last 3 weeks.
