The Universal Rhythm

The Universal Rhythm

Find out about the 'Universal Rhythm', why this rhythm can't be written down, and how to build it into your practice. Throughout this episode, I've used a numbered 8th note count (rather than 1+2+ etc.) in order to keep the rhythmic pattern clearer and hopefully easier to understand.

Sing To Your Drum

Using the resonant frequency between your voice and the drum skin creates a soothing approach for practice and meditation. Find out how to explore this toning method and what steps to take to get started. The duet referred to in the podcast is Toning into the Frame Drum with Christine Stevens and Gloria Taylor. The drum used is a Remo Renaissance frame drum and not as I called it a 'resonance frame drum' although that is not a bad name for a drum for this kind of practice!
