Hatem Ammous Demonstrates Tunesian Rhythms Part 1

In this video, David Kuckhermann interviews music professor Hatem Ammous, while on a recent trip to Tunesia. David has pulled together some amazing online drum lessons and his DVD is full of great techniques and rhythms for the frame drums. This online video is really well produced.



Here, Professor Ammous demonstrates the Fazzeni and Al Ghita rhythms on both the Bendir and Dourbouka, illustrating the different interpretations of the rhythms with respect to the Dum and Tek for each drum. It's interesting that he makes a point of saying that the Darbouka is for classical rhythms.
