Each "game" includes background information and a series of exercises. The exercises start simple and become progressively more challenging. Some exercises focus on hand drumming, others apply to stick drumming as well. Some exercises emphasize specific rhythms from specific cultures, others develop more generalized skills useful in any style of music. Contact Pete if you would like to arrange a workshop. The booklet and CD set are available from this website via PayPal.
