new ones into your line-up...

SOUNDS FROM YOUR DRUM, EXPERIENCE THE TRANSFORMATIONAL AND
HEALING POWER OF DRUMMING, AND HAVE ECSTATIC FUN WITH DRUMS...
*without taking years of expensive lessons....
*without waiting forever before being shown the secret tips & the killer
rhythms....
.....then these lessons are for you!
You will learn to get the best sounds from
your drum, mesmerizing World Beat
rhythm patterns from India, the Middle East
and Africa, and basic skills for
journeying the joyful realm of World Beat Drumming. You will learn several rhythm
patterns and their variations, that can all be combined
into a seamless cycle of
nested polyrhythms. You will also
learn how to
easily transition from one to another
of these patterns, play them simultaneously
on top of each other canon style with
other drummers, and seamlessly return to the Mother Beat, all without getting
lost
or dropping the beat! Based
on my long practice of Kundalini and Trance Drumming,
I will teach you how to effortlessly "Stop thinking" and let the PULSE carry
you into
transformational dimensions
of fun, quantum consciousness and healing!
ALSO - for members of the Transpersonal and Holistic Healing community &
Music Therapists who wish to learn how to work with Theta State Brainwaves
and Entrainment for therapeutic benefit, we can explore the role of Drumming
and the Pineal Gland and Neural Melatonin in the production of Trance and
Theta Wave Brain States, the use of drumming music therapy for boosting
immune systems, regulating heartbeat, improving motor coordination,
Re-Patterning the Neural/Muscle System, and Balancing the two Hemispheres
of the Brain.
And Yoga for the Hands:
We will also learn Anti-Carpel-Tunnel Excerises and sacred
Vedic
Mudras for Energy Opening and increasing Hand strength &
flexibility.
