Taken from my book "African Bell Ritual" this video demonstrates the 12/8 standard African bell pattern with a foot shaker keeping the 4-beat. The drums explore cross rhythms in 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 with all possible rotations of each. This study exemplifies how the bell can be felt in different pulses while retaining its elegance and potency. The resulting grooves are ideal for a variety of composed or improvised settings. Visit rhombuspublishing.com to view my entire library of 8 books, CDs, and articl
