Passing down the knowledge

 My dear friend and student Harta Dunia in Sedona Arizona practicing with her Son the Elemental Rhythms we worked on some time ago. Nothing is more gratifying than to see us pass this sacred knowledge down to our youth. Thank you dear friend!

The Ancient ways teach us that our strength is found in the indigenous medicinal ways. Engaging in a self or group healing practice thru devotion and discipline increases our immune system and the body, mind and emotional states. 

Drumming had the same end result as yoga, prayer or any other Bhakti one consistently utilizes and makes part of their practice, their life. It's imperative that we share this knowledge with our youth and teach the up and coming generation, to continue that trend. Drumming should be practiced by all families worldwide, creating that network connection between individuals around the globe!

Derrick in Texas

 Derrick has been working with me a while now. I threw at him the extremely technical rhythms of the Afro Haitian drumming and he's doing an amazing job! 

Raven in Dallas

 Raven took the one day hand drumming intensive and caught on super fast! She found her place on the drum in no time at all. She's doing amazing work! 

Julie in Chicago

 Check this out. My amazing student in Chicago who has never played an instrument is progressing at such a rapid rate and finding her place with the drum. She spent the day with me for a crash course intensive and is truly a gem and coming along so well!

Full day drum lessons

 DFW Friends, I'm now offering private all day sessions for individuals and families. We'll begin in the morning with a variety of drum practices, beats and techniques. We'll break for lunch (my treat), then move on in the afternoon with a little more advanced lessons, reviews and finish the day with some drum shopping. 

This is your chance to practice and play in the comforts of home, park or wherever you wish!

Feel free to reach out to me in a PM and we'll get your Drum Day going!

Elemental Drumming

 Gang, have you ever heard of finding and living out your life's purpose by playing specific drum rhythms?

Sounds intriguing right?

In the West African Nation of Burkina Faso, they have long lived by using an ancient elemental system that brings balance, harmony and purpose to every single life in the village. This culture is known as the Dagara.

Everyone in the world has a sacred element that directs their life and divines ones purpose in life. We find our element by revealing the last digit of your birth year.

Here's how it is set up, if your birth year ends with

 0 or 5 you are Earth; nurturing, love, abundance

 1 or 6 you are Water; healing and reconciliation

 2 or 7 you are Fire; creation and spiritual gate keeper

 3 or 8 you are Nature; humor, changes in life cycle

 4 or 9 you are Mineral; teachers and record keeper

As it turns out, each element has its own drum rhythm, that when played, opens your divine purpose in life. 

I'm reaching out to offer the sharing of these rhythms with all who want to know more about their role in life and to take their drumming deeper. 

If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to contact me and we can set up some lessons for you!

Looking forward to drumming with you!
