Frame Drummers, want to learn some new grooves from around the globe?  

The GROOVE BASKET contains a collection of grooves taken directly from my course Frame Drums 101.  The GROOVES come from areas including South India, Morocco, West Africa, Brazil, Middle East and more.   

There are a total of 12 instructional videos with a running time of 96 minutes.

A culmination of techniques and practices learned in my course Frame Drums 101, all grooves start with a simpler base pattern and are then built upon (embellished) with various added tones and techniques.  This allows you to go at your own speed and move on with more embellishments when you are ready.      

All videos have the text embedded on the screen.  If you are not familiar with my notation or advanced techniques like Glen Velez Fast Fingerings or Split hand, you may want to check out a month or two of Frame Drums 101 to get up to speed.  

The GROOVE BASET is very popular with current 101 students so I wanted to make it available to all.  This is a one time payment and you will have access to the GROOVE BASKET for one year.  

If you are enrolled in Frame Drums 101 there is no need to purchase this additional course.
