Raquy Danziger - Lesson of the Month – June 2006

Yimsik Asses (Hold Me a Rhythm)


CLICK HERE FOR A NOTATION KEY

 

Many of you dumbek players who have seen the Messengers perform lately have been begging me to you the solo part to “Yimsik Asess” the piece I composed for the Messengers on returning from Egypt last year.

So here it is!  Have a ball!

It’s best if someone is holding a fast maksum under the solo.
