Drum Classes with Master Gavin
The goal of the class is to instruct students as to the methods and styles of the most common
belly dance and zill rhythms, common instruments used, standard drum practice methods,
optimum styles of working together in a circle, drum circle ettiquette, ettiquette in regards to
dancers, and organization of drum circles for live performance or fun.
The standard class set up will be as follows –
A) A review of old rhythms first (30 min) (for both zills and drums)
B) Introduction of a new rhythm or rhythms, based upon class proficiency (30-45min) (for both
zills and drums)
These times are approximate, and can change based upon students and teacher needs.
C) Questions and re-review of rhythms based upon students’ needs (0-15 min)
The FIRST class will be unique, as an explanation of how drums work will be added, and since it
IS the first class, there won’t be any review of previous rhythms to go over, so more time can be
spent learning new rhythms.
Rhythm sheets, room, and chairs will be supplied by Azita (thank you Azita!).
IMPORTANT: The student will need to bring his or her own drum and/or zills to class, as the
student will be learning on his or her own instrument(s)!!! There is no plan for spare drums or
zills to be supplied, although such may be able to be purchased from Azita.
