Title: For Dancers Only
Product review: If like me you are looking for an introduction to the wonderful rhythms that are possible from the doumbek, keep looking. As an aspiring doumbek player in search of inspiration, I found the liner notes and musical notation contained there only gave the most superficial outlines of the drumming which, within seconds, becomes embellished to the point where it is no longer recognizable. Unless you enjoy listening to non-stop solo drumming, I would not recommend this CD. I can only imagine that this disk would be useful for practicing middle-eastern dancers in need of a drummer with a pause button. I would, however, recommend R.A. Fish's 'Fish On The Desert' CD as highly listenable on its own thanks to the inclusion of traditional arabic instrumental melody and more instructive for traditional arabic rhythms.
