    I've been interested in getting a drum like this for awhile. What is the difference between this and a Brekete drum? I love that snare sound.

    really great stuff, thanks for sharing. If you orchestrate that bell pattern on a frame drum you would basically get a Maqsum. this would be cool way to give the maqsum a triplet feel by putting the 8 beats on the foot bell.

    So inspiring Jerry! What appeals to me about your approach is that it seems your focus is on how to play deeper with fewer notes rather than how to play more notes faster. I'm about to hop on the path you've laid out and see what kind of experience it brings me. Thank you for putting in so much time and thought and effort into making these superb videos for a wider audience of interested students who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to learn from you. Truly a noble public purpose.

    Such a painful and beautiful video and song. Thank you and all the other artists who captured the absurdity of war so well, along with the human condition. There is no “us” and no “them”. What we do to one another we do to ourselves and is a statement of what’s been done to us. By being compassion itself we stop the cycle. Yet there’s profound hope contained in the content of this video behind all the surface pain, that we can see it and change to embrace our own humanity and invest in something more. Be solid and patient as Mother Earth, be ever embracing like mother sky, and shine your warmest, purest light upon all as father sun. Thank you Jerry for the ways your art inspires and moves us to be better!

    @euge.sosa.b 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey! This video is sick! I am wondering if each drum serves a role? For example does the Kagan serve to just keep time or does it improvise, as well? Is the Kiri the most improvisational drum? Or do they all just play around that skeleton rhythm?

    • @JLBERKLEE
      @JLBERKLEE 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bell, Shaker, and Kagan never change their patterns -- they are timeline grooves (like clavé). Kidi can ornament its basic groove a bit but must keep the main pattern clean. Sogo has lots of improvisation options built around its basic pattern. Both sogo and kidi respond to Boba master drum themes. They play response patterns in unison to form a dialogue with the Boba. Hope this helps...
