Rhythms Wild!
Roots Jam 4 extends the popular series of collected hand drum and percussion rhythms and lessons to a wider reach and deeper dive into world music. Simple notation is compiled and arranged for djembe, dunun, conga, tabla and batucada parts for solo and group practice. Learn from traditions and variations from Guinea and Mali, Cuba, Brazil, and Belize. Adapt beats for hip hop and DJ mixes, samba bands, kirtan, dance classes, or drum circles. Explore topics including archetypal music patterns, polyrhythm, improvisation, performance, and drum culture. Link to wider resources of notation, quality drums, top performers, and free online audio tracks and videos.
