Rowan Storm ~ Lesson 2 ~ Thinline Frame Drum ~ Partner Hand Symmetrical Method ~ (3 of 4)

Dum Gyn Bass Strokes
The Nature of Five

In Lesson Two, you will learn to play bass strokes with both the dominant and non-dominant hand, and to combine them together with the treble strokes in a balanced compound rhythm of Five. While traditional Middle Eastern drumming is based on three strokes, for the first time we have four basic strokes, made possible with the short frame height of Rowan's Thinline Frame Drum by Remo.

The Thinline Frame Drum distinguishes Remo's robust synthetic materials with its featherlight weight and short frame height, available in five diameters up to 16 inches (40.64 cm). Portable, elegant and affordable, there is a Thinline for every hand size, while its bright sound energizes a wide range of music styles.

The Partner Hand Symmetrical Frame Drum Method is a far-reaching approach to Middle Eastern hand drumming, rooted in tradition and the instinctive, neutral pulse of walking. With the shallow depth of Rowan's ergonomic frame drum designs, both hands become balanced partners in creative expression, promoting competency with traditional asymmetrical drumming styles while balancing both brain hemispheres.
