Voodou Drumset
James Armstrong & Travis Knepper
Back to Featured Listening

Most drummers have an understanding of two of the three major African-derived rhythmic traditions: Cuban and
Brazilian. Vodou Drumset has been designed by authors Armstrong and Knepper to introduce the third influential
African-derived tradition to the drumset player?s repertoire. Afro-Haitian rhythms (including traditional styles, such as Ibo,
Nago and Vanvalou) represent an enormously rich, but often neglected tradition that will add a new, nearly endless
range of possibilities to the store of techniques and materials available to a creative modern drummer. This book,
which includes a play-along CD, contains a host of materials that will be useful to drumset players, drum loop
designers, the aspiring ethomusicalogist and other persons curious about the unusual varieties of rhythmic practice.
