Insert the DVD, pick a rhythm and play along. It's that easy!
What do you get when you combine West African rhythm sheets, a metronome, some drumming friends, and some other secret ingredients into a magic box that produces DVDs? Answer: The new DRUMMIN’ BUDDIES Animated Rhythm Sheets DVD from Failla Drums. West African Rhythms vol. 1 includes the following 18 four-minute animated rhythm sheets:
DJLOE, FANGA, FANKANI, GIDAMBA*, HIGHLIFE, KADAN*, KASSA, KUKU, LAMBA, LENGJEN*, MAKRU, MARAKADON*, MORIBAYASSA, SOFA, TORO, TIRIBA*, UHURU*, YANKADI
* 6/8 rhythms
Both beginners and drummers with a little experience can benefit from this innovative practice tool. Simply insert the DVD and begin playing along with a video rhythm sheet, that includes an animated time marker, multiple percussion parts, and high quality audio designed to help drummers practice their parts within the context of the rhythm. Beginners might focus on playing a basic djembe part, whereas someone with experience can practice improvisations, or solos. Regardless, DRUMMIN’ BUDDIES Animated Rhythms can turn boring and ineffective practice routines into fun, quick, and effective daily practice sessions. Practicing a little everyday with animated rhythm sheets is an excellent way to improve hand drumming techniques and the ability and confidence to play well with other drummers.
DRUMMIN’ BUDDIES Animated Rhythms DVD (West African Rhythms vol.1) can also be a valuable practice tool for dunun drummers. Each rhythm includes sanban/bell, kenkeni/bell, and dununba/bell parts that can be used to learn or improve these vital parts of the rhythmic ensemble.
Failla Drums is offering a free sample Animated Rhythm Sheet so drummers can experience the difference of animation. Not only do the rhythm sheets appear to come alive but the two measure loops are like a rhythmic playground allowing drummers to play rides, variations, fills, or solos, or combinations whenever and wherever they want.
