"Middle Eastern beats played on Western style drums." Traditional Arabic drum beats have been played on a hand drum also called a "Tublah". This instrumental recording of eight popular drum beats, are played on a drum set. Acompanied by several Arabic percussion and string instruments, this CD is both a teaching device for drummers as well as a great CD for everybodys listening pleasure. Dance-able and alive! Bellydancers and dance instructors have used my work for shows as well as in class rooms. Over 500 units have been sold since July, 2003 It is especially liked by those who need to hear a drum beat demonstrated without fancy drum "fills" and loud "cymbols" Track five, features a drum solo! Bobby Bethoney will not let you down!
