Interacting with a drummer in Belly Dance Drum Solos - Tips from the Iana Dance Club
One of my favorite parts of a drum solo improvisation is the interaction with the drummer. This is very common to happen during the tremolo-shimmy section of the solo, as well as when the drummer goes into some small ‘intimate’ accents in his music.🎶So let’s talk about some basic principles of adding an interactive part into your drum solos. 👉In this tip we explore some dance tips, and get a glimpse of our new technique drill at the Iana Dance Club.🤗😘❤️ Also, if you liked this video, check out our Drum Solo Improvisation Intensive.
