introduction to rhythm
through hand drumming
through hand drumming
anyone can pick up any hand drum (or item to hand drum on) and learn patterns or rhythms. yes, you can. you can use this easily learned skill for wellness or musicality (or both).
whether you practice individually or in groups, learning the fundamentals is essential.
my goal with the information on these few pages is to introduce people to the simple practice of hand drumming - with short videos and still images. i don't want any thing to get in the way of you picking up a drum, or drum-like item, and just drumming.
use traditional or non-traditional instruments or household items
About me
i am not an expert.
my introduction to hand drumming was via djembe and west african rhythms, so you'll see/hear a lot of that influence.
my aim is to share fundamentals of hand drumming - in an accessible way to use on any hand drum.
I use generic handdrums, and household items - and teach the most basic of strokes.
practice individually or in groups.
i can help you get started.
