Playing
the African drum, this same feeling happens. African
drumming is very easy to learn, people who see
think of themselves as unmusical, leave my classes
surprised and elated that they could play the
rhythms.
Playing the African drum, gives you a fantastic
feeling of “oneness’ and relaxation.
The beautiful natural materials of the drum under
your hands and the deep base sound it makes, vibrates
through your body, soothing and energizing you
at the same time.

| African drumming is played with the hands
on wooden drums shaped like a vase and stand about
60 cm. tall.
African
drumming music’s funky sound is built up
out of several different rhythms played together.
The rhythms are often very simple and easy to
learn. Most African music groups have bells, shakers
and base drums to deepen the sound.
