From the soil of Africa, trampled by shackled captives and bloodied by the whips of slavers, to the sweating forests and wave-lashed beaches of the Caribbean, the voices of the sacred drum accompany the master drummer, Entahso, in his exile. The songs of the drum are a nation's history, beaten out by frail and ageing hands, but still possessing a thundering and terrible authority. Before he dies, Entahso teaches his songs and skills to Mabouya, but when Mabouya himself is ready for death who is there to inherit the drum? Who is there - among a younger generation of dilletantes and self-servers - to keep alive the old stories and to tell the stories still unborn? Weaving through continents and centuries, Voices from a Drum tells of people whose spirit was not colonized, whose inner life was not fettered nor haltered, and whose ghosts still run free among the trees and the high, smoking rocks, breathing their resistance into the living.

Based on extensive research in India and Pakistan, this new study examines the ways drumming and voices interconnect over vast areas of South Asia and considers what it means for instruments to be voice-like and carry textual messages in particular contexts. Richard K. Wolf employs a hybrid, novelistic form of presentation in which the fictional protagonist Muharram Ali, a man obsessed with finding music he believes will dissolve religious and political barriers, interacts with Wolf's field consultants, to communicate ethnographic and historical realities that transcend the local details of any one person's life. The result is a daring narrative that follows Muharram Ali on a journey that explores how the themes of South Asian Muslims and their neighbors coming together, moving apart, and relating to God and spiritual intermediaries resonate across ritual and expressive forms such as drumming and dancing.

Richard K. Wolf employs a hybrid, novelistic form of presentation, in which a fictional protagonist interacts with Wolf's field consultants, to communicate ethnographic and historical realities that transcend the local details of any one person's life. The narrative explores how the themes of South Asian Muslims and their neighbors coming together, moving apart, and relating to God and spiritual intermediaries resonate across ritual and expressive forms such as drumming and dancing. Wolf weaves in the story of a family led by Ahmed Ali Khan, a North Indian ruler who revels in the glories of 19th century life, when many religious communities joined together harmoniously in grand processions. His journalist son Muharram Ali obsessively scours the subcontinent in pursuit of a music he naively hopes will dissolve religious and political barriers. The story charts the breakdown of this naiveté. A daring narrative of music, religion and politics in late twentieth century South Asia, The Voice in the Drum delves into the social and religious principles around which Muslims, Hindus, and others bond, create distinctions, reflect upon one another, or decline to acknowledge differences.

George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control is the original classic, often called the bible of drumming. In 1993, Modern Drummer magazine named it one of the top 25 drumming books of all-time. In the words of the author, this is the ideal book for improving "control, speed, flexibility, touch, rhythm, lightness, delicacy, power, endurance, preciseness of execution, and muscular coordination," with extra attention given to the development of the weak hand. This indispensable book for drummers of all types includes hundreds of basic to advanced rhythms and moves through categories of single-beat combinations, triplets, short roll combinations, flam beats, flam triplets and dotted notes, and short roll progressions.

Born in Nigeria, Onye brings the heart and soul of Africa to The Drum: Voice of the Village. He teaches the reader how to approach the drum, how to play the drum, how to use the drum for healing and awakening as well as for entertainment, and how to create and celebrate community through the power of the drum. Onye tells the story of his village - where the drum was the heartbeat of the people, sounding out the messages of a new birth, mourning the passing of an ancestor, dancing the joy of new love. The drum was always vibrating, speaking the emotions that connected the people of the village with each other and with the world. A pioneer in using music, rhythms and dance to bring diverse communities together, Onye shows how music has a profoundly transformative capacity to affect personal and societal healing. He teaches how to use the drum for health, healing and ceremony as well as for creating community. Onye Onyemaechi is the founding director of Village Rhythms and Insights for Healing. He is a celebrated recording artist, performer, producer, composer, teacher, mentor, healer and consultant. Book jacket.
