🎵 Join Marla in her backyard sunset, and explore the rhythmic beauty of the traditional rhythm, "Syrtos", which is a rhythm played that is commonly played for Greek dance.

This 11 min instructional video includes a beginner lesson on how to play some of the basic strokes on the frame drum in the "lap" style. You can apply these rhythms to ANY type of hand drum.

ABOUT THE SYRTOS RHYTHM
In this video, I am teaching a variation of the Syrtos rhythm (adding an extra doum), notated as:

D - | K D | - K | TK
D - | K T | - K | TK

Here is the notation for the rhythm WITHOUT the extra Doum
D - | K | - K |TK
D - | KT | - K | TK

You can play them both ways!
