Free Music Review: Perfect for my needs!
Hit: 5 Stars
As a classical musician (piano and organ) who has always learned by the academic approach, I have thought that I would love to learn an instrument using the other side of my brain! I have all sorts of drums around the house and knew that I wanted a more intuitive, aural approach to learning as opposed to my Conservatory type of training. This DVD was perfect for what I was looking for. There are no explanations about different ways of hitting the drums, no charts or printed how-to's. Nothing written down at all. Just sit in front of a great drummer and try to copy what he is doing. Of course, it is challenging and for a person who wants it slowed down, or notated, or whatever, this is not the approach for you. But most any DVD player that I have ever used has an A-B Repeat function. Use that and loop these rhythms over and over till they become easy. Then go back and improvise your own rhythms against Mr. Ratigan's playing. I've never had so much fun, and I think my Mozart on the piano might even be helped. Hope so! Thanks, Mr. Ratigan, for a great DVD.Free Music Review: 101 Drum Circle Rhythms by S.L Ratigan

I am new to drumming and found this DVD just what I was looking for. Easy to see hand movements and rhythms for all occasions. I look forward to hours of learning these rhythms and playing with my friends.Free Music Review: Not Up To Expectations

I am a beginner and as such have several issues with this DVD. All with the way it was put together. There is only one view,frontal. An over the shoulder viewing angle would be easier to follow. Also, there is just one speed. So getting the hand movements is a challenge. Did use the DVD player controls to slow it down but can't hear the rhythm. The one thing I can't get the DVD player to do is to go to a particular selection. Its either watch each rhythm sequentially or hit fast forward and skip 5 at a time. The GO TO on the player doesn't get a response from the DVD. Was generous with a 2 star rating. Free Music Review: Useful DVD for both beginning and experienced drummers.

The DVD "101 Drum Circle Rhythms" is by Shannon Ratigan, a drum circle facilitator in Florida. It is an excellent and noteworthy DVD because it is a simple, easy to use video showing hand movements for more than 101 different rhythms that can be played in drum circles or by a drummer playing alone. The demonstrations are played on a djembe, but the rhythms could be played on almost any type of drum. Those of us who work with beginning drummers welcome a basic drumming learning tool such as this. It differs from a lot of more complex drumming videos in that it focuses just on the rhythm and how to play it, and someone playing along can "get it" without being distracted by multiple players, voiceovers, and complex rapid rhythms. Every drummer has a preferred learning style, and this DVD fills a need for simplicity. Just watch and play along.
