Are You Ready To Make Your First Drum Solo Memorable And
Exciting ?
"Watch As Leyla And Drummer Issa Mallouf
Discuss & Demonstrate Working Together To Create Great Drum
Solos"

There are
many reasons why drum solos are a favorite part of Belly Dancing
for me.
-
Artistic
freedom to interpret the music one on one with a live
musician.
-
Experiencing the
energy
and excitement that comes from live vs. recorded music.
-
The spontaneous occurrences
of artistic play between myself and the drummer.
-
The adulations of an
appreciative, enthusiastic audience.
These are a few and I'm sure I
could come up with more, but the main reason why I like
drum soloing as much as I do, I mean besides the artistic liberty, energy,
artistry and audience applause adds up to one thing. More
fun!
What good is it to put in all
the hours of practice that we put in if we can't have a special
time for ourselves for unconstrained, purely emotional,
spontaneous dancing fun and when it is done well it is really
kind of a rush. A natural high.
If you're just starting to think
about drum soloing you want to make sure that you're prepared
and forearmed with information about what goes into a
good drum solo. The better prepared you are in advance the
more enjoyable the experience will be for you and your
drummer.
This 58 minute DVD is a behind
the scenes look at how Issa and I as a drummer/dancer team
approach our roles during a drum solo. I'll tell you how I
approach putting combinations together, how I use sharp and soft
combinations keep the solo interesting and what I look for from
Issa. You'll also hear from Issa as he talks about some of the
different rhythms, layers and how he approaches his role as
drummer and part of the team.
Doing drum
solos is a dancers right of passage. It is your turn to
shine. The spotlight
is on you, the audiences attention is on you,
you've practiced, prepared, you know your drummer, he knows you
and you're ready to take that next step.
