More Basic Shapes: The Circle

The Drum Circle!

Basically, you sit in 'le circle' and you go around and interact with one another using hand drums.

1. Create and underlying groove for teh lowest drums (congas) to play.
1. Make sure it is basic enough for them to keep steady.
2. Create more complicated for the middle and upper drums (djembe and bongos respectively).
3. Have one person do a "call" and have other people respond.
1. Improvise over a set number of bars
4. End with a final run through of the basic groove.
