Cameron Tummel’s CD Release Party 2013!
Interactive Drumming Showcase
Celebrate the Completion of Fundamental Djembe SOLOS 4/4 Volume Two with three hours of African drumming, singing and dancing! Drumming performance by Senegalese master drummer Malik Sow, Fundamental Djembe SOLOS drum class with CameronTummel, performances by the Washington Wildcat Drummers, vocalist Chet Santia, and additional special guest performers.
The Fundamental Djembe SOLOS CDs are all musical call-and-response, making them very unique instructional recordings. All tracks feature the lead djembe drum supported by bells, dunun (bass drums), and accompanying djembes, so you practice playing your leads within a full ensemble. Ten Play-Along instructional tracks, a performance track, a welcome track, and a track for you to be the lead player: everything you need to sound like a pro.
Cameron will share material from the CD as a live class at the party. Drums will be available, or bring your favorite from home. Be ready for amazing drumming from locally and internationally acclaimed performers, and a little (lightweight) African dancing for everyone. This will be a celebration of local artistry not to be missed. This is a participatory event: comfortable clothing and a playful attitude strongly recommended. Bring your djembe!
Contact Cameron for more info about the party, recordings, or interactive rhythm events. Visit www.CameronTummel.com, or email to CT@CameronTummel.com
