25 Essential Rhythms For Middle Eastern Drum

Uncle Mafufo always tells his students: 'If you can say it, you can play it!' Forty years of playing Middle Eastern folk rhythms on the doumbek has resulted in this CD. Uncle M considers these rhythms important for the dancer or drummer to be familiar with to be able to rise to a level of expertise. There is material on this CD beyond the basics for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge or for players who would like to add to their repertoire of rhythms and variations. Armando (aka Uncle Mafufo) has written the modes in Dun, Tec, and Ca syllables (D, T, C) and printed them on the insert included with the CD for easy reference.
