Animated Rhythm Sheets
Welcome to the DRUMMIN’ BUDDIES Animated Rhythm Sheets page. Animated Rhythm Sheets are a great way for you to practice on your djembe drum. When its time to practice get your drum, insert the DVD and pick a rhythm to play along with. It doesn’t get much easier than this. The West African Rhythms vol. 1 DVD contains the following 18 four-minute animated rhythm sheets:
DJLOE, FANGA, FANKANI, GIDAMBA*, HIGHLIFE, KADAN*, KASSA, KUKU, LAMBA, LENGJEN*, MAKRU, MARAKADON*, MORIBAYASSA, SOFA, TORO, TIRIBA*, UHURU*, YANKADI
* 6/8 rhythms
DRUMMIN’ BUDDIES Animated Rhythms can turn boring and ineffective practice routines into fun, quick, and effective daily practice sessions. Practicing a little everyday with animated rhythm sheets is an excellent way to improve hand drumming techniques and the ability and confidence to play well with other drummers.
DRUMMIN’ BUDDIES Animated Rhythms DVD (West African Rhythms vol.1) can also be a valuable practice tool for dunun drummers. Each rhythm includes sanban/bell, kenkeni/bell, and dununba/bell parts that can be used to learn or improve these vital parts of the rhythmic ensemble.
Failla Drums is offering a free sample Animated Rhythm Sheet so drummers can experience the difference of animation. Not only do the rhythm sheets appear to come alive but the two measure loops are like a rhythmic playground allowing drummers to play rides, variations, fills, or solos, or combinations whenever and wherever they want.
