5.0 out of 5 stars a gift for percussionists, July 31, 2000

This review is from: World of Drums & Percussion (Audio CD)

last day i was wondering wich would be a perfect album for drummers, and then i got to the conclusion that the album may be an album for percusionists. Man when i heard this album i was amazed of how many sounds, textures, rythms can an instrument produce, the most interesting thing is that every time you hear it you discover many new sounds, all the people involved in this album are some of the most representative percussionists of the world, they got together just for the sake of doing music. One advice: if you are to listen to this record STOP doing everything close your eyes and wonder.

From the creators of the hit Broadway musical STOMP comes Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey -- a large-format film created just for the giant screen of the IMAX Theatre. Pulse: a STOMP Odyssey is a celebration of the global beat, guided by the internationally acclaimed performers of the sensational stage show STOMP. The audience embarks upon a worldwide odyssey to uncover the rhythms of disparate cultures from New York City to the American Southwest, Africa, South America, Asia and Europe. Along the way, you meet gumboot dancers, taiko drummers, djembe players, bell ringers, flamenco dancers, marching bands, street performers and everyday people living out loud.

I can testify to the greatness of this music having seen it myself in the IMAX theatre in the Austin,TX "The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum" myself.

It is an exploration of the sights and sounds of continents and cultures, which explores the variety of percussive traditions around the globe, including the Timbala of Brazil, the Les Percussion de Guinee from West Africa, the Kodo drummers of Japan, the Jackie Robinson Steppers of New York, the Winchester Bell Ringers of London and the Moremogolo Dancers of South Africa, as well as the rhythmic thrumming of flamenco guitar and the celebratory sounds from a parade in India. The film itself reveals the universal language of rhythm, and I would reccommend it to anyone with a taste for universal music abroad to the tune of the wide variety of percussion instruments and their unique and creative application.
