Re: [Musicians] Learning/sharing/remembering rhythms

Hi Max & All, Interesting that you learned the 3-3-2 rhythm as Klezmer. - Klezmer rhythm (123-123-12) So many of the people I've studied from say the 3-3-2 came from Africa. It has invaded many other genres. When I first learned about it (other than the clave), it came at me three times in one year: * A bunch of fiddle bowings used in Old-Time Appalachian tunes (highly slave influenced) * A doumbek rhythm (an Arabic drum) * In hamboning--body rhythm with African roots, from when slaves had their drums taken away. __ Erik Hoffman Oakland, CA
