This book is for advanced hand drummers who want to play complex
solos using simple sequences of hand strokes. Whether you play
Djembe, conga, or ashiko, the practical hand-pattern strategies
explained here will help you get the most out of your hands with
the least amount of effort. And whether you want to solo in a
traditional African or Afro-Cuban ensemble, in a drum circle, in a
band, or in your living room along with your favorite CDs, Secrets
of the Hand will help you take your playing to the next level. The
book is organized into two main sections. The first covers the five
basic hand-pattern strategies and the second covers five strategies
for creating the illusion of speed. Each new strategy builds on the
ones before it. And while you're learning the strategies, you'll
also be learning over a hundred patterns that should be a fountain
of ideas for you when you solo.
