The Magnificient Darbuka Rhythms A beginner's guide

I thought this was going to be a book but it is only a 2 page pamphlet. It gives you the basic strikes,exercises, and regional rhythms. The accompanying CD is essential if you don't read music. I feel like this is something you receive as a hand out. A little helpful but definitely not worth $14.95.

A 2-page pamphlet for almost $13.00? How very shameful.

I see in the other reviews that people are not happy with the price of this product. I disagree. The CD alone is worth the price. A comparable CD would be at least the same price as this product. The nice thing about this guide is that it gives you all the information you need in one succinct page. The CD solves the mystery of how the rhythms sound. It is one thing to have the sheet music and another to play the notes as they sound. This is a good product don't be afraid to buy your copy.

As a beginner I wanted more explanation at a slow progressive pace. Without a local tutor, dvd may be better for students, but this left me lost!

i thought it'll be a whole book, didn't think it was just a card. But did a good job anyhow.many thanks

Se siete dei principianti come me di percussioni non si capisce niente. É un grosso doppio foglio plastificato con scritte cose probabilmente molto utili e ingessanti per chi é già percussionista, ma per chi si avvicina alle percussioni e non ha precedenti esperienze non va bene.

Ich verstehe nicht, wozu und wem dieser gefaltete, bedruclte Karton mit einer CD nützen soll? Zudem ist der mit 14,78 € ja nicht gerade billig.

Als Nachschlagewerk gut zum Üben. Nicht enttäuscht sein, da nur 4 Seiten. Fürs erste reicht es aber. Für mich okay.
