Reviews for Roots Jam 4: World Beats - Rhythms Wild!

Praise for Roots Jam rhythm books... Great and comprehensive source for every djembe player, from pure n00b to real djembefola! Amazing resource for any serious hand drummer. The rhythms are all portrayed in an easy to follow format which allows the drummer to practice and rapidly learn them. I am currently facilitating a drum circle and finding the book to be very useful not only in teaching rhythm ensembles but for my own continuing improvement.-William E. Clark Clear content, well organised information, love to read and love to play according to! The wealth of knowledge is invaluable. Never gets old.
