Voodou Drumset
James Armstrong & Travis Knepper
Back to Styles
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.
The Examples on the Cd are recorded two times, once with just the drums |
