Happy New Year!
This year is filled with so much excitement and potential
that I can barley contain myself. I believe 2006 will prove
to be one of the most rewarding for all drumming enthusiasts
like yourself. There are so many amazing things happening
to enhance your playing ability.
This is the year you have a chance to excel as a drummer.
You now have the opportunity to take a giant leap forwards
in your learning curve. I have something for you. Let me please
explain.
First, you must know by now that I am extremely driven and
dedicated drummer/ facilitator. I am committed to promoting,
teaching and sharing the benefits of Freestyle Hand Drumming.
I believe drumming really does have the power to change your
life. What is has given to me, it can give to you.
It is my pleasure to announce the first of a series of instructional
Play-along CD's that I have created.
This new Instructional Play-along Audio CD entitled “Essential
Rhythms for Personal Empowerment” embodies all that
I believe. This valuable instructional play-along CD features
TWENTY uplifting and inspiring rhythms for you to learn and
have fun with. They were designed to inspire and enhance your
natural creativity and to help you take your first step towards
Freestyle Drumming for personal power.
I will be teaching you my unique interwoven sounds of West
African and Middle Eastern rhythms, mixed with a contemporary
style. This play-along CD is the ultimate practice tool whether
you're a beginner or an intermediate hand drummer.
For each of the twenty rhythms offered, there is also a
three minute track where YOU become the soloist. YOU have
full creative control and you can take the time and develop
your own sound and style. It’s all up to YOU!!!
Using the essential rhythms on this CD, you will learn a
more meaningful way to play.

Peace and Blessing to you in the New Year!
