Description
This course will teach the darabuka in the Greek and Balkan styles, focusing on split hand technique. We will cover typical rhythms of Greece and the Balkans: hasapiko and syrtos (2/4), Tsamiko (3/4), tallava and tsiftetelli (4/4) tallava, Baidouska (5/8), zonaradikos (6/8), madilatos (7/8), sygathistos, Zeibekiko and karsilamas (9/8), stankena (11/8), Krivo horo (13/8), pousnitsa (15/8), and Leventikos (16/8). This course is for experienced darabuka players, very comfortable on their drums and familiar with the styles being taught here. We will occasionally use rhythm notation, primarily for exercises derived from “stick control” and “paradiddles.”
