it is an instrument, and like all instruments it takes time, though because the hand drum is pure rhythm it takes a different kind of musician, as you are creating pure and primal music, based upon the fundamental elements of timing and emotion. it is the perfect merging of spiritual and physical, just like dance, it brings music into tangible reality, and brings spiritual feelings into the realm of the everyday.
