More about rhythms and percussion |
I came accross the links below when searching the web for more
information about percussion, the instruments, lessons and specific
rhythms that where covered during the courses and workshops that I
attended. I hope you like them and perhaps they might bring you any
inspiration. Should you have some nice links yourself, please feel free
