DUNDUN (AFRICAN BASS DRUM) CLASS
African Bass Drums, or Dunduns, typically are played with one hand
playing a bell pattern, while the other hits the drum skin. We will ex-
plore the bass drum playing technique and will learn simple patterns
which, when put together, will surprise us with their power and inten-
sity. Participants must provide their own “drum”; please contact Mon-
ica for details on how to assemble one before the first class. No class
