| Good Day!
This
is AJ Block writing to wish you a happy day. We are excited because we
finally got our hands on a bunch of new RAV Drum models in the key of B and we put
together this new video to share them all with you. We have a bunch of these new scales in
stock right now, so see below for links to the video and a list of our our current inventory.
Also this week we published an article 10 Of The Best Musical Instruments for
Children to Learn. For all you parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and music teachers out there, I really hope you
find some knowledge here.
Lastly, we are participating in a special fundraiser for Uganda Medical Outreach on Sat., Jan. 20th in Brooklyn, NY at Golden Drum. Dream Seed, Maestro Manuel Rufino and other special guests will be there. See details under "Events" below.
Wishing you health and happy music making!

| | | | The RAV Drum company recently released 4 new scales in the key of B, plus we had our first ever B RUS in the shop. In this video we review these 5 RAV Drum models: B Major, B Minor Pentatonic, B Kurd (with double ding), B Integral and B RUS. All of these models (except for the B Major) are in minor keys, meaning they evoke a more mysterious, mystical mood, which we find great for meditative playing. The bright sound of the B Major creates a sunny joyful atmosphere. Shop our RAV Drum selection

| | | Didge
Project is a blog, youtube channel, series of courses and events,
instrument store and a collective of musicians who want to help you use
music as a tool for uplifting yourself and others around you.
On
our site you will find tips and tutorials to help you become a better
musician, didgeridoo lessons, instrument features and reviews, and
reports on the latest scientific research and spiritual discoveries
merging through the medium of sound.
When
we began in 2008 our main focus was on teaching how to play the
didgeridoo, a wind instrument originating in aboriginal Australia and
also said to be present in ancient Mayan times. After working with
countless people it became apparent that most musicians play multiple
instruments and that we have the community resources to help all
musicians get better results. While we still provide didgeridoo lessons,
classes and programs, our focus is to provide tutorials for music and
instruments from all around the world. Visit us for great music
resources at www.didgeproject.com |
