Free Music Notes for 101 Drum Circle Rhythms For The Hand Drum
Free Music Review: Wow1
Hit: 5 Stars
I own the DVD, "101 Drum Circle Rhythms" and love it. It has a wealth of drum rhythms to add to any drum circle. I learn best by watching, and the techniques used on the DVD are very helpful. Each rhythm is shown for long enough amount to allow you to pick up the rhythm and play along. I am very pleased with the versatility of the drum rhythms. This DVD is an asset for anyone who plays hand drums, especially in a drum circle, and has something for everyone - from the basic to advanced drummer. This DVD has been a great tool for me and it is well worth the investment.
Free Music Review: not easy for beginners

This DVD has a large collection of nice rhythms with clear views of hand pattern and should be nice to drum along with after one learns the rhythm. Unfortunately it is not easy for beginners to pick up the rhythms, which is a shame. If he would start each rhythm in slow motion (say, half speed) for a few rounds before going into normal speed, that would make life so much easier for learning. It would also help to "sing" the rhythms in the beginning (e.g. ga-da-gung-dung or base-slap-tone type of thing). These are all simple techniques used in most drum videos. I hope he would adopt them in a future release. It would also be nice to have these rhythms written down in a simple notation for quick reference.Free Music Review: Excellent Drum Tutorial

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to drumming, and this DVD wasn't very helpful for me. The hand movements are too fast. Also, I would have preferred that the angles be shot from the same view I'd have while playing a drum instead of the opposite. It is simply too confusing to watch the hand movements from the opposite direction. It definitely isn't a good teaching tool for someone who doesn't already know how to drum. This DVD seems like it would be helpful for someone who can just listen to the rhythms and pick them up. I think I might find this DVD useful in the future once I am able to learn the basics of drumming and that is why I rate it with a least a 3.
Free Music Review: I highly recommend!

I am impressed at the sheer volume of rhythms that are taught on this DVD. Anyone wishing to become proficient on hand drums would benefit from owning this. This is a straight up DVD showing you the hand patterns for numerous hand percussion rhythms. These rhythms could be used in any drum circle setting or for just playing along with friends on musical instruments. I've been a hand percussionist for many years and there is enough material on this to keep me busy for at least several months trying to learn and commit to memory the volume of different rhythms like Shannon Ratigan has done. I've owned several instructional DVD's on hand drumming and this one has by far the most material and is definitely the best value for the money! A beginning drummer might find this a bit overwhelming at first, but this is not intended as a step by step "Learning to Play the Hand Drum" video. This is a must have for any hand percussionist who already has a basic understanding of hand drumming techniques OR for the beginner that can use this for practice after learning the basics of hand drumming from a second introductory DVD or instructor. I highly recommend this DVD!!!
