Then she does a mini-choreo to her zills only and then she dances with her husband on drum.
The instruction, sound and picture are clear, no crazy monkey cam and the background is pleasing to the eye. The only thing I wish is that she danced to "fuller" music besides zills and drum, she has some complicated patterns that I have no idea how they'd go with music or what music would require such complicated patterns. She doesn't go into rhythms other than beledy, but I still prefer it over Mesmera's. I think it's worth every penny.

Well, shucks.
This is a WONDERFUL review... but it also makes it clear that this is not the video I'm looking for. I need a video that's in between "this is a finger cymbal" and "now do it with the opposite hand and explore the music". That's more advanced than I can handle.
I need a zill video that explains shows progressively tougher things to play against beladi and also other common rhythms. Guess I'll keep looking! Thank you.
