Secrets of the Hand - Soloing Strategies for Hand Drummers
Alan Dworsky and Betty Sansby
Back to Percussion
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. 96
