Frame Drum Central
This
is the best place to begin your online study of different frame
drumming traditions, frame drummers and frame drums..the
frame drum known best to most of us is the simple tamborine, a
frame drum with jingles. However there is a big variety of frame
drums, with one head or two, some with jingles or bells, and some
without.
Frame drums are portable, relatively inexpensive,
very versatile, and they can be played in situations where many
instruments would never work (in your apartment, or behind the
wheel stuck in traffic at rush hour, perhaps).
Frame drums have a long and illustrious history,
and they are found in cultures all over the world. Over here in
the U.S.A., there has lately been a steady surge in interest in
them over the past decade or two, thanks to the initial work of
Glen Velez
and John
Bergamo, teachers who began to champion their use
early on. Now many of their students are teaching, and performing,
and with the Internet, there is qquite a lively scene of frame
drummers around.
stu's note: I was fortunate to meet Peyman during the late spring
of 2001. He continues to tirelessly promote his music on the World
Wide Web, as a moderator of the Goblet
Drumming Group and the Indian
Tabla group at Yahoo, and an active member of the FrameDrummer
group as well...links to his works are at right. Thanks Peyman..Keep
it up!
