Editorial Reviews

There is no doubt that the sound of drums and percussion has a tangible effect on the human body and spirit. To hear a group of drummers playing together seems to awake something of a tribal memory in all of us. Gongs, cymbals and bells always evoke a feeling of auspicious ceremony. The Healing Drum is not only a wonderful uplifting and inspirational musical journey combining a wealth of instruments and drums, but essentially an opportunity for the listener to join in and play along with their own drum. Chris Puleston includes introductory sleeve notes and tutorial instructions on how to participate on the djembe drum. Open to all levels, you can play along or simply relax and enjoy this outstanding recording.

This CD is great! The musicianship is outstanding and it is easy to play along with so good practice for drummers. I'm looking for more cd's from these two drummers right now...

The Healing Drum's introductory selection The Source features flute, the sound of water, rich layers of perussion and a variety of instruments including the didgeridoo, setting the tone for the magical journey musicians Chris Puleston, Chris Conway and guest musician David Nash have created for listeners of this album, which also includes instructions for accompaniment should anyone want to drum along.

Listeners can easily imagine following the Traveller on this musical adventure, listen along to The Healing Drum, envision An Irishman in Africa, experience Cymbology, imagine The Seven Jewels and return, Back to the River.

Instruments used throughout range from temple bells and glockenschpiel to ones I've never heard of, like the ghatam and pakhawaj.

Most of this exotic and relaxing collection is suitable for meditation, easy listening, waiting rooms and for listening during Reiki or massage. Take a listen first, though as personal preference may dictate that a selection or two may be a bit too exciting for those receiving healing treatments.
