West African Rhythms for Drum Set (with CD): each Composer: Hartigan Royal
West Africa is the source for many rhythms throughout the world. In this book, Royal Hartigan with the help of Ghangian master drummers, Abraham Adzenyah and Freeman Donker, have adapted west African rhythms to the drumset. Concentrating on four rhythmic groups - Sikys, Adowa, Gahu and Akom - each chapter introduces the traditional instrument and rhythms of each style. Then it is adapted to its appropriate voice on the drumset. The CD will provide drums set players some of the oldest and most influential rhythms in the world. A groundbreaking presentation!
