"Drumming is a way to create
communication . between
people," said Kathiyn Barile,
owner of the Brass Unicom. "Ws
a way of building bridges be¬
tween people."
CSU,- Fresno anthropology
• majajf Drew Horwath said there's
li unity in a drum Circle. "When
you get in a drum circle With 10 or
•15 people, it gives you a-feeling
feu can't describe," Horwath
_6aid.
Horwath, who has been play-
ingla long time, attended both
workshops, though he said this
was his first instruction.
The workshops offered stu¬
dents a chance to leam several
things including general
rhythms, drumming posture,
vocalizing with the drum and
different drumming strokes.
One of Sunday's West African
drum -style Instructors, Bud
Harlow, mentioned "locking in
on the sweet spot of the drum,"
'/
'
and getting thfe "feel of the song^
■ in hi£ instruction.
Horwath studied a lot of his
drumming in West Africa where
he said piany people are con¬
nected through drumming.
Drumming, he said, connects
people more with their "primal
self."
Those in attendance Sunday
got the opportunity to play their
drums together, and different
parts against each other. The
drumming was very loud and
powerful, one member even got
up and started to dance.
Randall Kress, another of
Sunday's instructors and the co¬
ordinator for the event, said he
thought the workshops were a
success.       "^ *
"I had a vision to bring some-
thing to do with hand percussion
to Fresno," he said. He said he
was a little surprised the first day
to have 25 attendants, but grate-
ftfuL He said he wasn't sure about
the demand for this kind of thing
in Fresno, but "here they are."
i, He put ^fhe event together by
gettingdrummers he knew from
various locations in California:
He said he looked all over for a
place to hold the workshops, and
found the rightplaceat the Brass
Unicom.
Kress, who also went to West
Africa to learn about drumming,
said workshops are important
because" they give the commu¬
nity a chance to "stride for a posi¬
tive experience."
Sandy Ahachadourian, a
Fresno resident attending the
Sunday workshop said ''Fresno
needs it [the workshop! so bad,
there is no culture [here]."
Kress said all music in our
society comes from African
drumming and African music.
Ahachadourian said she is
"attached to drumming, attached
to the sound, to the rhythm."
She also attended both work¬
shops and said she loved it.
"It's interesting to get in touch
with your own rihythpi. It's kind
of spiritual."
