Polyrhythmic Melody

Polyrhythm is the simultaneous sounding of two or more independent rhythms. When all the drums sound together, the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. This is the essence of a Polyrhythmic melody. In this workshop we will explore the relationship between the bass elements of percussion that support the overall drum circle.
