There are rhythms that appear throughout the world, in different countries and styles of music. Learning how to recognize and reproduce these rhythms is something that percussionists do as part of their craft. Playing rhythms and music requires that we learn how to create grooves, and that requires that we tune in to micro-timing and the feel of the music. Even playing the shaker can be a deeply musical act. Learn how to get started and make progress in this episode. Kalani also talks about the Therapeutic Drumming Course and World Drum Club at YouTube and Patreon. <P>

Sound Toss – Musical Game

by

Greetings Club Member!

This is a simple game you can play with just about any group of people. What I like about this game, is you don’t need any instruments! You can use voices or sound effects, which makes this musical game super portable and easy to present just about anywhere. It works really well as an ice-breaker or energizer, and it’s perfect for groups where the members are just getting to know each other. Tip: This game is best played with medium-size groups (10-20). If you use it in a larger group, it may take quite a while before everyone gets a turn and some people might not even get the sound passed to them! So, use it wisely and have fun tossing sounds!
