Accessible Learnable Sounds - Layers of Them!.......2004-12-20

Mr. Johns' has a very accessible way of presenting the sounds and layers of rhythms to the untrained ear. One can get sense of accomplishment with one seession. I have given this CD away twice and am glad to be ordering it a 3rd time. Very engaging and fun for one or more people. jc- Durham, NC

good overview of African and Cuban rhythyms.......2000-03-25

This CD will have you drumming along the first time you play it. The rhythyms presented are both simple and at the same time very complex because of the layering of different instruments. While there is not any teaching of technique (how to strike the instruments) it does make you feel like a drummer. Buy it if you want some feel-good drumming.

Great CD to learn rhythms from around the world........1998-07-04

This CD is a great learning vehicle for beginner to intermediate afro-cuban hand drummers. The songs are repeated on the CD, once with Geoff Johns explaining and again without explanation for ease of playing along. Very well done. I recommend have some hand drumming experience before trying this CD.
