6 + 4 African Bell Perspectives

This video explores a contemporary treatment of a bell pattern from the country of Benin in West Africa. These drumset examples are adapted to playing the balafon, but can be applied to any instrument. The 2-bar pattern in 12/8 is built with the first bar in a “6” feel and the second in “4.” The alternation of 6 and 4 creates a profound shift in perspective as it is played by the musician and heard by the listener.

Hey everyone,

Just sharing another clip from my recent performances.

Must watch!

Hello Everyone!

I had some time so I decided to make a couple of audio lessons on triads, which have been the focus of my practicing lately! After years of practicing seventh chords, 9th chords, 11th chords, and 13th chords, I've come to appreciate what triads can do.

these recordings are from me playing in Taipei, Taiwan with my quartet. It was my first time organizing a whole set of jazz performance(I'm currently a college student major in classical percussion), so I wanna share with you all. Put some comments down below and let me know how do you feel about it! Happy New Year everyone!

Hi vibes lovers, in this video I explain you how to harmonize an octophonic bebop scale (with the chromaticism between the 5th 6th steps) using dim passing chords.
