Here it is... my post from the other thread:

Yes, I have it. It's a completely acoustic, percussion based CD that is designed with teachers in mind by a teacher, for use in drilling and classroom practice. There are also some cuts that could be used for performance, including a drum solo. I got my copy just before going on break from classes so I haven't had a chance to use it in class much yet, but the students who did experience it really liked it! I plan to integrate it further into my classes.

It's always hard to describe music to others without having a clip (from my understanding they're working on getting some onto the website) but I can say it has a very earthy, bare yet rich sound, very traditional - i.e. no synthesizers or modern instrumentation. There are a couple of cuts with melody (oud) but it's mostly pure percussion - a lot of combining of things like dumbek, djembe and zills. It includes a good variety rhythms, which is always helpful for teachers. I believe the playing time is pretty long too.

This is a CD that gives a feeling of having a live drummer drumming for your class, so if that appeals to you, I highly recommend it! I personally really like to give my students the experience of dancing to live "raw" Arabic music, and since it's pretty hard to afford to pay drummers to come to every class, this type of CD is the next best thing.
