ERIC's DUMBEK LESSONS
(Arabic tabla)
Want to learn how to play the drum for Bellydancers? Or are you a Bellydancer who wants to
increase her knowledge of rhythms—learning to drum the rhythms translates to better dancing
through a more thorough understanding of the music and a new way to "feel" the beat.
Lessons are now available for beginners. Instruction will be given on basic techniques and
rhythms suitable for bellydance accompaniment. No previous experience necessary. Some drums will
be available for class use. If you have a dumbek (Eqyptian style preferred) please bring it along.
(We have dumbeks available for sale at Amazing Spiral.)
