For thousands of years, drums and songs have been used to bring people together—for healing, celebration, and connection to spirit! In this workshop, percussionist Dennis Maberry will introduce you to the basic techniques and rhythm concepts of several traditional rhythms from Africa and its Diaspora. These techniques and concepts include basic hand technique, finding and maintaining the pulse, off beats, and the basic concepts of polyrhythm. Since many of the people in the Central Illinois area are involved in community drum circles, a section of the class will be on how to integrate these rhythm concepts into drum circles! 🙌
