Movie Reviews of Jim Donovan's Rhythmic Foundation : Interactive African Drumming for Everyone
Movie Review: excellent teacher
Summary: 4 Stars
Jim Donovan is an excellent teacher, and the camera views (face-on and overhead, to see the hand movement on the drum) really help. The only criticism I have is that the DVD is a bit confusing to negotiate from segment to segment.
