Hand Drumming Essentials

This innovative new approach provides all the information you need to begin and maintain your own hand drumming ensemble. The book includes an introduction to hand drumming, instruments of the hand drumming ensemble (including conga, bongos and timbales, and exotic world instruments such as agogo, axatse, caxixi and toke), performance and rehearsal techniques, and original compositions for performance. Comprehensive instructions are provided for the non-percussionist educator. This is a valuable resource for classroom teachers and percussionists alike!
