## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A fantastic book for anyone (adults as well as children) who is interested in learning how to play the hand drums.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2017*

Now that I am in my senior years I have been working on my bucket list.  One of the many things on my list is learning how to play some musical instruments. The last few years I have learned how to play the flute, Ukulele, Kazoo, and harmonica.  I have now taken up the playing of percussion instruments like the regular drums, hand drums and the clave.Even though I am learning how to play the drums with drum sticks, I also love practicing the hand drums.  One of the best books I have read on this topic is “Have Fun Playing Hand Drums: by Ben James and illustrations by Wim Van Loon), which I purchased for a bargain price on Amazon. This fantastic 80 page soft cover book also includes a CD which matches the information in the book.This volume is organized in a way that makes it easy to understand.  Some of the topics include an historical overview of the djembe drum, the conga drum and the bongo drums. There are general hand drumming tips, playing the natural tone, playing the bass tone, the upbeats, group drumming games, playing the slap tone, rhythm evolution, group drumming rhythms, playing the muff tone, traditional rhythms and play along drum jams.Using this manual along with getting hands on instruction with an instructor is a winning combination.Rating: 5 Stars.

    good to teach kids
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2015*

The Drum tablature in the book is exactly what i was needing for my 5yo boy, i used stickers of each shape on the drum to show where to hit then i showed him in the book the different shape patterns and we both played it together and he had so much fun playing that he continued while the wife and i made dinner. The next thing im going to start working with him on is rhythm walking using chalk on our patio so that he'll have a better understanding of keeping time now that he's familiar with the ways to hit the drum and the sounds they make. we received the book on time and on the invoice the seller wrote a very nice message thanking us for helping the library, would buy from this person again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not meant for me, unfortunately
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2015*

I'm an average rock drummer, not exactly pro and not exactly beginner. So I wanted to try out bongo drums and unfortunately expected to learn how to beat on those things like there's no tomorrow. What I got is a middle school's music class group activity book. If you want to mean business then go spend money on something else. But I'm not dissing this book, I'm just saying this book wasn't for me.
