Hi Guys,

You can view a video clip of the 101 drum rhythms from my new DVD at
my website, or on MySpace. The DVD was professionally recorded,
edited, produced, and is over 2 hours long. Have a look at the video
sample. This DVD is an ideal resource for furthering your enjoyment
of hand drumming. The price is $10 + shipping for about a month.

Iv'e gotten a few notes about seeing me wearing a ring on the DVD.
It's a wedding band Tattoo! LoL
I kept losing my wedding band, so some years ago I had it tattooed on
my finger. Now I can't lose it anymore. That's what you call a Real
Commitment. Actually, my wife thought it was rather romantic since I
can't ever take it off.

Here is the direct link to see the video clip, and the order info is
there as well:

Also, I'm a lefty, so it reads correct if you are right handed. Plus
it's just kind of to suggest the handwork, not necessarily the right
way, or even the only way to do it. Just to give people an idea by
how I play them and go from there. Then you can figure out your own
way to play them, alter them, etc.

As a drum circle facilitator, one of the most important things for me
is to have a large body of rhythms to choose from. Especially if you
host an ongoing drum circle. People want different rhythms to play
from week to week, or they get bored.

On this 2 hour long DVD of 101 rhythms for the hand drum,
each rhythm is numbered, and about a minute long. This is a massive
body of material, of rhythms from around the world. African, Afro-
Cuban, Native American, Middle Eastern, Blues, Funk, Soul, & Rock and
Roll. Great for the djembe, congas, doumbek, ashiko, bongos, or any
hand drum.

It may not be slow enough for beginners, but provides a huge body of
work to enjoy. Ideal for intermediate to professional level drummers,
but a beginner can grow into these. You can see the rhythms up close.
It gives you an idea of how the various notes and sounds are made. It
is not necessarily the only way to play these beats, just a starting
point to expand your repertoire.

Anyone out here who would like one without the case and artwork
(just the DVD disk) I'm offering it for $10 + shipping for about a
month, so anyone can afford it, in an effort to give back a little to
all those out here who have helped me in the past.
