--a beginning hand drummer having trouble remembering the drum rhythms you learn? Maybe you've never taken a djembe lesson and need a book with some basic instruction and djembe rhythms to get you started. Or you've taken a few hand drum lessons or workshops and now need more rhythms and exercises to keep you practicing.
--an intermediate djembe player looking to go beyond the basics and "put it all together"? Are you ready now to learn more about junjun (dundun) and bell parts? Or maybe you just need a solid collection of traditional djembe rhythms in drum tablature notation, to hone your skills between workshops or performances.
--a kit drummer who's looking to expand your chops into the expanding genres of world beat, fusion, reggae, or latin groove music--or to explore the roots of funk, jazz, and blues? Maybe what you need is a handy reference for playing African drums or African-based rhythms which you can adapt and apply creatively to the kit drum components of your choice.
--a performing or advanced drummer looking for a quick reference of ensemble arrangements for African and Latin dance rhythms, dundun patterns, or lead djembe parts? Maybe you want to share your drum knowledge with others, and can use additional rhythm parts and techniques to make your lessons or group repertoire more effective. You'll also find here unique transcriptions, distillations and compilations of traditional patterns, to help you compose or arrange original pieces and adaptations.
