Here is the first of our videos from The Dickinson Ensemble's 3/3/24 concert. I didn't write this piece down. It's an improvisation. Jenny and I really didn't rehearse it. We walked thru it before the show, then just played it. Jenny made up the Melodies as she sang. The goal is that "Emliy Improvises" will sound different every time we perform it.

These polymetric roll exercises are designed to help you hear in one meter while counting in another. The goal is to be able to listen to what you're playing while also paying attention to the people you're playing with. This is just a sample. If you'd like to see the whole set, email me at dskoog@mac.com and I'll send you the PDF.

Thanks for posting nice finger style and rolls. I’ve been practicing your basic exercises and they seem to help quite a bit.
You're very welcome.
Great work, nice example also for my beginner Students, thanks for sharing !
Beautiful as always!!
Thank you!
Put it this way you bring out great percussive ideas those mallets tell a story you make that story a good one to listen to
Nice expression and ideas also those mallets on the set bring out the percussion sound I crave for
The black girl is not Moroccan
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!
Man what a singer. What an ensemble. Fantastic. "Thy sacred emblems to partake" So good.
I agree! Jenny is amazing. It is an honor to play with the whole group.
So moving. I'm curious how you became so familiar with the abilities of the cello, for example which chords (double stops, i think they're called) were attainable and the harmonics.
I worked with Herine as we were creating it. I wanted to write something worthy of her skills.
Yes this is quite powerful. Is that German?
Arabic
Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you!

Lovely and gentle and perfectly suited to the poems.
Such a beautiful artistic exploration. Bravo, Don!
That was really helpful. Saved for future study,and subscribed for more. Best wishes.
Amazing composition. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Congratulations, it's marvelous! Bravo to Don and the performers.
SO beautiful! Love the worldliness.

It's a beautiful tribute to an important poet. Great work, all. Composition, playing, documentation. Fantastic.
What a lovely project and so beautifully performed and produced. Congratulations to all involved!
This is a very peaceful and calm piece to watch. The music matches the writings of Emily Dickinson and the musicians are so very skilled at what they do. It inspires me to want to learn to play music. The video quality is amazing and I can’t wait to see what else this group will do.
Don, this video is not only beautiful but it’s amazing and stylish as well. I loved it from start to finish. The music is melodic and mesmerizing. I think Emily would be proud to hear her poetry so gorgeously portrayed. I can’t wait to see, and hear, the completed version. -Kris
What a professional and poised performance. Such a great deal of heart and effort went into this, I can tell. The fusion of poetry and song is a testament to the talents of all of the musicians and singer involved. This is truly an opus worthy of being proud of. Bravo! 🌹💐🏵️🌸🌺🪻
Good job Subscribed..I love riq..been playing since a kid
Beautiful
Thanks much for this.
Great video thank you so much. Having just got a riq as a Christmas present, I have been playing around a bit and watching some youtube videos here and there. I decided that spending some time holding and playing the riq in both hands made sense, just while I got the feel of the drum. I was really pleased when you started here with both hands on the drum and gradually shifted to what seems to be the more often used position; holding with the less dominant hand. But not only this- hearing how to make proper note sounds with both hands. Really great thank you.
Interesting stuff!!

The coach showed a parade of different moroccan dances throughout the moroccan territory from North to South snd West to east ..Morocco is the land of a thousand and one contrasts .Very rich indeed in all levels , music , culinary art , craftsmanship , pottery , brodry , architecture horse riding or tbourids .gnawa moussems and carnivals
sounding great. love this genre of music.
Ole. Fantastic.
Solange ihr die Lappen der Sklaven tragt, habt ihr mir nichts zu erzählen!!!
Ça canne encore un peu sur certaines phases, le quinto a un feeling inhabituel avec ses claqués ouverts et il manque le chant. Mais vous êtes sur la bonne voie les gars.
that's not Moroccan at all !!
Odd that. We were in Morocco with a well-known Moroccan dance teacher and Moroccan drummers, but obviously you know better.
Great video! There isn’t much out there like this that I can find. Do you have any advice for finding a good first riqq. I’m newish to frame drumming but am quite certain I am sticking with it. I haven’t played a riqq but it seems like it would be the most fun to play for me. I could invest a bit (I’d like to keep it in the $100-$150 range) but I don’t know what to buy. Not a lot of options out there. There’s always Cooperman, but that’s a bit out of my range, especially for learning.
Hi Douglas, the problem with riqqs is that the cheap ones don't work well. Cooperman is great, and I use one of their instruments, but I also have several calf- and fish-skin riqqs that have a very nice sound. The problem is that you really have to maintain them when the heat comes on, or the head becomes unplayable, and sometimes rips. I only use these drums in the summer. There are also some less expensive fish-skin riqqs that are made in Egypt. The style of drum is different, but still good. They have the same dry-heat problem tho. My suggestion is to save your pennies until you can buy a Cooperman. Short of that, look for a good instrument made in the Middle East. Just make sure you keep the head moist if you live anywhere it gets cold. I hope this helps.
@@Cubapercchi That’s a huge help. Thanks so much. But it is hard to wait, I want to play so badly. Patients is a virtue I’ll try to find. Thanks again for getting back to me.
First, maybe find a friend who is selling a decent used one. Jamal Mohamed Riqq by Toca can be bought for around$115. It’s not a bad Riqq for the money. The doum and teks are good, the zills néed a little more room in my opinion. It’s a a pvc frame and synthetic head, it’s tunable, not very heavy. I also own 2 Layne Redmond Riqq s. The small one and the tar-rine. The small one still sounds as good as when I bought it around 2010, and it was around $110. I haven’t seen a new one for sale under $145 in a long time. The larger one has lost some of its tone and has very light zills. I. Also own a Gawharet El Fan Riqq. It was advertised at $150, but there was a mix up and they sent me a Riqq that sells for $300. Funny thing is I really don’t like it. It’s kinda heavy, synthetic head tunable. The $150 basic GEF I bought earlier was junk. The slots where the zills were looked liked they were carved out with a steak knife. The hardware was misaligned as well. I sent it back. If you buy cheap, then love the Riqq you will want to buy a better one. Then you have purchased two of them. That gets expensive. If you buy quality first you will save money long term, and enjoy it more. I own two Cooperman drums. An 18 inch frame drum and a Tambourine. Top Quality. If you decide not to go with a Cooperman, Darbuka Planet is a good place to shop. They also sell under the name Eastern Bazaar on Amazon. They have been very good to me, both pricing and customer service. It’s difficult sometimes to buy these instruments online when you can’t hold them in you hand or hear them either. If you have the opportunity to talk with someone who owns and plays, see what they play. Ask them why they play that particular drum. Good luck!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Are both of the moroccan? I didnt knew black moroccans with such a deep skin colour existed! Mashallah
Nope, they're both American. The teacher is Moroccan.
@@Cubapercchi Yes. But they do have dark skin black people in Morocco. Plenty of them.
@@ditocerto Yup! I saw many, just not these two.
Nice job, guys. Lovely qanun taqsim too. Bravo!
The Moroccan culture is so beautiful. It can makes the heart of a man becomes happy.
