For cd's, I like Playing Finger Cymbals with Jamila ( CDjfc - Playing Finger Cymbals with Jamila) as well as Rhythm ID with Suhaila & Susu Pampanin for practice. ( http://www.smartcart.com/suhaila/cgi...tem_num=CDrid). Great to use in the car. Just be careful when driving with zills! You may want to just tap out the rhythms instead for safety if you're the one driving! 
If you're interested in Rhythms per se as a whole, I love Souhail Kasper's DVD and cd for dancers. It's more than just for drummers. Awzan Arab Rhythmic Modes:
Souhail Kaspar | Near East Music | Recordings
Souhail also teaches workshops for Drummers & dancers all over the country and they are fantastic! He'll be back in DC April 26 & 27, 2008 sponsored by the World Music Folklife Center: World Music Folklife Center - Calendar of Events
If you'll be in the area, you'll have a fabulous time! |
Oh yes, I love Souhail! I have his Awzan Arabic Rhythms CD. Practice dancing to it all the time.
Thanks!
As well as for Dolphina, 1st instincts are very good! I could tell it was cheesy, but wanted to make sure it wasn't just the cynical side of me!
Looks like many have experienced that "follow the goddess" crap.
