The idea is to learn and practice African rhythms. You can just listen to the music, and dance to it... But if you look carefully you see that there is a notation system also, so you can play along!\r\n\r\nWhat do these signs mean? The O = a Tone, that means on the rim of the djemb\u00e9 with fingers closed, and the hand more straight.\r\n\r\nThe O with an X thru it = a Slap,  that means, again on the rim, but then fingers opened, and hand more relaxed. The way I learned slapping, is by focussing on letting the ringfinger bounce first -- so you get a bit of an 45 degree angle -- flying in sideways. \r\n\r\nThen there is the Closed O (black little ball) -- That's the bass -- it is in the center of the drum, and you get the best sound by letting your hand bounce on the center. Wether fingers spread or closed, depends on personal taste.. With fingers open, it rings more.\r\n\r\nAnd last there are accents and muffles... An accent is a bit louder then the rest and is signed with an ^. The Muffle, is doing the strike for example a tone, but with one hand on the skin... So it cant really ring. The muffle is shown by an underscore _ under the note. \r\n\r\nThese songs are just to get you to hear the African rhythms... If there is any piece you like, just let me know, and I will make videos dissecting  the rhythms part by part -- so you can SEE how it is don on the drum. \r\n\r\nI do this, to inspire people to start drumming, and hopefully in the nearby future these files come in handy when we've started our drumcircle, so people can practice at home. \r\n\r\nPercussion studio = freeware You can download it here: http://www.henrykellner.com/PercussionStudio/ \r\n\r\nI've got ALL the African rhythm files AND instruments that are out there on the web in a collection. I still have to find a place where I can upload them in a zipfile so people can download it. Untill then, if you Really Really want them, just send me a message, and I'll try emailing them to you :-)\r\n\r\nHappy drumming!", "musiccaps_names": "[\"Wood block\", \"Drum\", \"Percussion\"]", "musiccaps_aspects": "[\"solo percussion\", \"additive rhythm\", \"polyrhythms\"]", "musiccaps_author": "8", "youtube_id": "fjxD32KIHgE", "musiccaps_rowid": 3973}
