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 ethomusicologist and other persons curious about the unusual varieties of rhythmic practice and drum techniques.
