LAYNE’S NEW RELEASE: 6-DVD Frame Drum Intensive Training System
Frame Drum Intensive Study Series DVDs # 1-6
Beginning to Intermediate Level
Instructional DVD and Booklet With Layne Redmond
Includes 8 hours of instruction
Middle Eastern style tambourine, tar and knee position styles of frame drumming are covered on each DVD in this series, including techniques from the Middle East, Azerbaijan, North Africa and India.
This DVD series is the video accompaniment for the 6 CD set: Frame Drum Intensive Study Series 1-6 (formerly called, Giving Birth To Ourselves), a 6 month study series created by Layne Redmond. Click this link: Frame Drum Intensive Study Series to purchase all 6 CDs as downloads at CDBaby.com. Although it is highly recommended to study both the DVD and the CD, it is possible to complete the program using only the DVD. The material covered in this series is progressive. It will be most productive to practice and accomplish each DVD's material before going on to the next DVD.
For beginners wishing to purchase drums for practicing with this instructional DVD set:
Layne recommends the Lotus Tambourine since it is the lightest and easiest of her tambourines to start with. For standing position Tar, the inexpensive 14" Renaissance Frame Drum is recommended since it is the lightest of the available drums. This drum can be used for sitting position as well. However, the 16" Fixed Skyndeep Snake Skin head or the TAR 18" Fixed Skyndeep Goat Brown head are better drums and would also be good choices for sitting position.
Please note: **This DVD is formatted to play on DVD players in all Regions (NTSC format). It should be fine playing on your computer in countries outside of the US.

Layne Redmond's DVDs stand out from the pack because she really wants you to learn to play! Unlike so many other DVD programs I have, Layne breaks things down so even those with no musical experience can start playing immediately. And, while other DVDs skip that crucial phase between total beginner and more advanced playing styles, Layne takes the time to show how these more advanced techniques fit in to what you've already learned, making it easy to incorporate them in your playing. On top of that, Layne's drumming has the deep resonance of ritual, making her teaching utterly unique."

Excerpt from DVD 4
"The wealth of knowledge Layne possesses is beyond measure. Her method of teaching is accessible to any level of drummer, from the very beginner who has never experienced this type of drumming to the more advanced, incorporating everyone into the workshop experience. Besides teaching the methodology of playing the frame drum, her vast research and deep knowledge of the ancestry of our ancient lineage of women drummers is shared through conversation and presentation of her thorough investigation. The spiritual connection of the drum through out the ages brings us to a present day Muse herself, Layne Redmond."
