Please keep in mind that three classes is barely a dipping of your toe. The frame drum is an ancient instrument of precision, grace, and subtlety. The longer you play, the more you will realize the infinite potential that exists to always go deeper. But this series is a great starting place to explore the potential of this beautiful drum and all its textured sounds through a technical understanding of the instrument, it's language of sound, and optimal ergonomic mechanics of playing.
