Re: [Harp-L] Getting back to harmonica

Does anybody know of a good video (DVD) that explains it all -- something on the order of explaining the beat for beginning drummers and non-drummers.

I don't want to learn to drum, I just want a quick and dirty rundown on the rudiments.


Also, anybody got a lead on a good drum machine with a variety of beats. I have metronomes -- but I would prefer some pre-set beats that go beyond clicking quarter notes.

I looked at a lot of books on drum rudiments last year when I was  
working on rhythm stuff.  The classic one that everyone recommends is  
"Stick Control for the Snare Drummer", by George Lawrence Stone.

For practicing harp, of course.  :-)
