Editorial Reviews

Review
"A fascinating multi-cultural synergism of thought regarding the rhythmic pulses of the universe and their relationship to divination and drumming." -- Jonathan Goldman, author of Healing Sounds

"A fascintaing idea, especially for I Ching aficionados, and another good excuse to put your hands on those healing skins." -- NAPRA ReView, Spring 1998

"Michael has done us all a hugh kindness by compiling this exhaustive work into one volume in clear concise language." -- Dru Kristel, author of Breath Was the First Drummer

Product Description
In this user-friendly interpretation of the I Ching, Michael Drake presents drumming as a revolutionary way to approach the ancient Chinese oracle. A blending of shamanic drum ways and Taoist philosophy, I Ching: The Tao of Drumming provides for the first time the rhythmic structure of the 64 hexagrams or potential human situations. Drum patterns derived from the hexagram images conduct the essence of each category of experience into a resonating current, giving it physical, mental, and spiritual impulse. Through the natural law of resonance, the drummer then embodies the qualities necessary to effect change or harmonize with change in any given situation. With clear explanations of each of the 64 hexagrams along with concise instructions and illustrations, the author reveals how fate can be shaped through drumming these simple rhythms. Whether an accomplished percussionist or a total beginner, the drummer can effortlessly create and change experience and help others do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true "way" of Drumming, June 24, 2006
Michael Drake truly captures "the way" of the drum and also I believe our emotional and spiritual connection to it. From the ancient ceremonial drums of early man until modern times, this "way" of the drum has not changed within us - and Michael Drake captures this in all of his books. This book actually has rhythmic exercises and pattern the reader can learn and use as a guide to finding their own "way". As a lifelong drummer, and student of related speed bag rhythms, I found it very interesting and enlightening.
