A fabulous, highly informative book looking at all aspects of Darbuka/Doumbek and frame drums such as the Persian Daf and Riq. Featuring dazzling techniques, challenging solo's, popular/ancient rhythms as well as entertaining and humorous stories from a musician that has successfully made a living drumming all over the world.
Featuring Maqsum, Saiidi, Baladi, Ayub, Karatchi, Cifte Telli and many more popular rhythms, this recording is the ultimate backing band! Think of the CD as a 'blank canvas' to try out new solo ideas, practice rhythm variations, study the different rhythm names or even dance to! Essential Darbuka Rhythms also includes 'odd time' patterns such as Laz 7/8 and Kasilima 9/8.
Each rhythm is played at two different tempo's ie; slow/fast. This high quality recording features the Davul (bass drum) Riq (Middle Eastern tambourine) and the Darbuka. Bellydancers Note: This CD is an ideal way for you to learn the 'essential' rhythms of the belly dance drum!
