Darbuka Drumming Basics and 20 Most Useful Rhythms

Description

This is an introduction to the Middle Eastern  drum called the Darbuka (otherwise known as dumbek, doumbek, tabla or dumberleki), the goblet drum that is played in Turkey, Egypt, and throughout the Middle East. It's a joyful, fun instrument used in dance music, party music, festivities and celebrations. 

This course is the  perfect way to begin your darbuka journey.   It's a practical course in which you will learn some basic techniques, and then you will learn how to play the most popular darbuka rhythms with those hits.   After you learn the rhythm you will get a chance to accompany a melodic song in that rhythm played by Raquy on the mystical spike fiddle, the King Kemenche Tarhu.

 After completing this course you can jump right in and start playing with the actually music, whether its with recorded music in the comfort of your own home, or playing out with live Middle Eastern musicians and Belly Dancers.   You will also be able to accompany a belly dancer in a belly dance show. 

Raquy Danziger is a popular  darbuka player who perform and teaches all over the world. In this course she uses her years of experience playing darbuka in Middle Eastern bands to choose the 20 rhythms that are the most useful to any darbuka player, no matter what style of music they are playing.
