Vodou Drumset: Drumset Applications Of Traditional Afro-Haitian Rhythms

Most drumset players have an understanding of two of the three major African-derived rhythmic traditions: Cuban and Brazilian. Now, with the publication of 'Vodou Drumset', drummers can add the third African-derived tradition to their repertoire. Afro-Haitian rhythms provide an enormously rich, but often neglected, tradition that adds endless possibilities to a drummer's technique and creativity.
This book offers a host of useful materials to: the drumset player, the drum loop designer, the aspiring ethnomusicologist, and any other person curious about the varieties of rhythm.
