Your Name as a Drum Rhythm
15
I will create a drum rhythm that sounds like your name and title or expertise. Just for you!
For instance, for my name, I would request Robert Hensley, Drummer Extraordinaire. And the rhythm would match the cadence used to say those syllables. And it would have the sounds that match those vowels and consonants somewhat, using slap, tone, bass. Ya gotta hear it to believe it. I would send that to you in a video, and a lesson on how to play that rhythm on a djembe, or a tabletop and anything else you want to use as a drum. The rhythm will be there on my site to show all your friends how cool you are haha.
Other examples would be:
Sally Field, Award Winning Actress
Celine Remy, Certified Sexologist and Sex Coach
Kevin Dalfonzo, Internet Marketing Specialist
Frank Lazzaro, Professional Percussionist
Robert Hensley, just plain awesome dude
... you get the idea!
So send me:
1 -- the name you want to use,
2 -- the description you want to own about yourself,
... and I will get back to you with a rhythm and a video lesson to teach you.
... I will also keep that lesson with your name on it, on my upcoming blog at DrumYourWay.com, for posterity.
So excited to start this idea I have been dreaming for a couple years now. Yay Simbi!
Training & Qualifications
I have been drumming as a touring performer and teacher, since 2000. I have studied and played and rehearsed and toured for years with some of the greatest master drummers from the West African countries of Mali and Guinea, home of the Melinque peoples. I have held hundreds of drum circles in many states, founded a drum troupe called Tribal Fire in San Diego, CA, and specialize in teaching beginning djembe students how to get good sound, and advanced students how to inspire dancers. I am known for my ability to create endless creative riffs as a soloist, and for the crispness of my sound on a djembe, as well as how hard, fast, and loud I can play for hours when inspired by the joy of dancers in front of me.
