Yousif Sheronick has released a new dvd for the advanced techniques for frame drums and middle eastern percussion. The DVD takes the student beyond the “dum” and “tak” knowledge to more substantial development in phrases and faster techniques. After years of study with Glen Velez, Yousif demonstrates these techniques including split finger, fast fingerings, snapping, split finger and italian triplets, and cymbal fingerings.
Yousif’s first DVD for Riq has been a very popular work and this DVD extends his teaching to the uses on bodhran, tar, riq and other drums.

Welcome to the new Framedrum.org website. We’ve ditched the Joomla pages due to the desire to simply foster a communication site were we can share events, resources and discussion about our passion, frame drumming.
We hope you’ll enjoy the conversation and if you have suggestions, we are very open to ideas and interests.
Welcome and let us know what’s on your mind.
