One of my favorite drum circle facilitators: Christine Stevens, playing a bit and discussing the healing power of the drum...
FYI: At the beginning of the video, Christine is playing the cowbell. The rhythm she is playing is the 2/3 Clave...the keystone that holds the whole rhythm together, two notes...then three notes, or "2 over 3". There are other names for this clave rhythm...but I'll be durned if I can remember them right now.
An easy way to learn it is by thinking or singing the phrase "I Like Chocolate Cake" while hitting the bell...or woodblock...or whatever. Another way to sing or think it is "1, 2, 3 and 4", or maybe this: "ting, ting, ting, ting, ting".....listen for it on the video.
