With this series of hand drumming DVDs, anyone can learn to drum—and without having to read music. Simply watch the rhythm being played with the "players-eye view" camera and sing along with the rhythm as it appears on your video screen. Then play along as each part is demonstrated slowly and clearly on the drum. Each rhythm pattern is performed by Paulo Mattioli, whose "Rhythm Journey" Drumming and Dance workshops have been held at virtually every major city in the U.S. One of the nation's top drum instructors, Mattioli has performed with superstars Kenny Loggins, Lenny Kravitz, and Sting, and has worked with such African master drummers as Babatunde Olatunji, Mamady Keïta, Kemoko Sano, and Yaya Diallo.
