About the Artist

A drummer practically since birth, T. Roy plays the drum-set and hand drums of all sorts. He performs and records with various musicians, artists, and dancers in almost every style of music.

To hear T. Roy's work on the drum-kit, check out Lunar Stew Trio here at cdnow.com.

Product Description

On this hand drum CD, T. Roy clearly demonstrates how to play 30 of the most popular Middle Eastern Rhythms used in music and dance today. His "say it / play it" approach makes learning these ancient rhythms simple and fun. Included in the inset of this CD are the written and spoken phrases for each rhythm. The "cheat-sheet" inset, depicting each rhythm in plain-sentence, spoken verse (not musical notation or some strange code), along with the spoken-word only track of ALL the rhythms (for ease of memorization in the car etc.), are by themselves worth the price of this CD.

Simply put, this project is a "must have" for all serious hand drummers and dancers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent intro, August 30, 2005

By	Melina (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This CD is an excellent complement to a live drumming class. When practicing at home, it provides clear vocalization of the rhythms, CD jacket has the rhythms written out, and there are simple and complex variations on each.

this is just what I have been looking for. Two different ways to drum, one with actual drumming rhythms and the other with spoken word so you know exactly what to do with your hands..... awesome CD. If you are a beginning drummer this is a must have!!!!!!!!!!! Carol in Montana

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Educational, February 6, 2008

This review is from: Drum and Dance: 30 Doumbek / Djembe Rhythms (MP3 Download)

Though it seems that each musician speaks the rhythms in his/her own way, this is a great CD for learning Belly Dance beats. Great for teaching various dance techniques.
