Lets face it: playing djembe as its traditionally played can be really hard on your hands. This is the only DVD for beginning hand drummers - especially adult beginners - who want to experience the joys of playing djembe while going easy on their hands. It was created by Alan Dworsky, the best-selling author of How to Play Djembe and two-time winner of DRUM Magazines readers poll for Best Percussion Method Book.Each of the seven step-by-step lessons on the video starts like a private lesson and ends with Alans entire class playing the rhythm, so you also get a sense of what its like to play in a group. Proper playing technique is covered in depth and African rhythms are adapted to a Gentle Djembe style, so that you can play safely and comfortably no matter what your age. And each lesson has a matching play-along track, making the DVD a complete learning tool. Shot in gorgeous wide-screen format and endorsed by Arthur Hull as the most non-intimidating way for beginning beginners to get started.
