| Lesson I is based on a very common middle
eastern rhythm called Belladi(shown in I).
The following examples (labeled a through
e) use this same rhythm for the drum,
but varying ideas from the jingles. Practice each one over and over
for a while before moving to the next pattern. |

Lesson 1
|
|
|
In a all of the sixteenth
notes are filled in and played with our fingers alternating right-left.
|
|
|
I a
|
|
|
In b the jingle is
played by the left hand on the upbeats.
|
|
I b
 |
|
| In c the jingle is played by the left hand
on the last two sixteenths of the beat. |
|
I c
 |
|
|
In d the jingles are
activated by shaking the tambourine back and forth (think of the
egg shaker).
|
|
I d
 |
|
|
In e we are superimposing
the side to side (left to right rotation) triplet over top of the
belladi rhythm. This is very difficult and requires that you have
already mastered playing the triplet without drum notes first.
