Rhythms from Guinea and Mali, on Djembe and Dunun.  Multiple parts, including first and second accompaniment djembe, bass djembe, ballet-style dunun and traditional dunun (3 bell parts).   This class is open to all levels, though it is geared toward serious learners.  Beginners will learn the fundamentals of technique and rhythm, while more advanced students learn solo phrases and repertoire.  Experienced drummers are guaranteed a new challenge.

Paddy Cassidy has studied and performed drums for over ten years.  He has studied djembe and dunun in Guinea and the USA with artists from Les Ballets Africains and Ballet Djoliba, two the world's foremost African music and dance ensembles.
