“Rhythm is the soul of life. The whole universe revolves in rhythm. Everything and every human action revolves in rhythm.”

- Olatunji

No one person is responsible for making Afro-Cubano drumming what it is today. But certainly no one person is more responsible for making drumming accessible

to the entire world than the Master, Babtunde Olatunji. Babatunde Olatunji quietly left this plane Sunday, April 6, 2003, 7:30 am, at the age of 76. It is to his living memory, to his very existence that this book is respectfully and lovingly dedicated. As his drum beats, so too our hearts.

No person is more credited for introducing West African drumming to the West than Babatunde Olatunji. He is a “Master of Drums,” the “Maestro”, a virtuoso of West African percussion. Born and raised in Nigeria, Olatunji was educated at Morehouse College in Atlanta and the New York University Graduate School. At Morehouse, he began performing informally, entertaining fellow students. As the demand for his music increased, he entered the professional music fi eld.

In 1959, Columbia Records released Olatunji’s fi rst album, Drums of Passion, which became an unprecedented, worldwide smash hit. It was the fi rst album to bring genuine African music to Western ears, and it went on to sell over fi ve million copies. Olatunji has traveled the world for forty years spreading his music and African culture. Thirty years ago, he founded the Olatunji Center of African Culture in the heart of Harlem and he has been a member of the faculties at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California and the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York for almost 15 years. At these institutions, as well as at innumerable workshops and festivals, Olatunji continues to pursue his strong commitment to spreading knowledge of African culture through the teaching of traditional drumming, dancing, and chanting in classes for adults and young people.

Olatunji received a Grammy Award in 1991 for his collaboration with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart on their Planet Drum album. In addition, his composition “Jingo Lo Ba” has become a signature song for the rock group Santana. Olatunji also has written scores for Broadway and Hollywood productions, including the music for She’s Gotta Have It, a fi lm by Spike Lee.

In 1997, Chesky Records released love drum talk, which went on to be nominated for the 1998 Grammy for Best World Music Album. On it, Olatunji unleashes the rhythm of passion. Olatunji leads an ebullient ensemble of guitarists, singers and, of course, percussionists through a series of spirited meditations on the nature of love. Lust, kinship, sensuality, courtship, and spirituality are the themes Olatunji uses to fuel his joyous, infectious playing.

Introduction, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Drum

When I fi rst asked Melvin Johnson, our fi rst drum teacher, what texts he’d like us to sell for his class, he gave me a look I’ll never forget. It was sort of a mix of “Why did you just stick your fi nger in my ear?” and “You must be the dumbest white man I’ve ever met.” Thus began my education into the world of West African Drumming.

The simple fact is, when we began all of this, there were virtually no text-books for West African Drumming. There are more now, but not many, and few worth the paper they’re written on. There’s one that is specifi cally “Drums of Passion” oriented; I highly recommend it. Don’t bootleg a copy, either. You’ll fi nd many of the same rythms as in this book, but buying it supports Babtunde’s continuing good works; I’m good with that. Go to the website (www.after-science.com/olatunji/) and buy a copy. Then, if you don’t already have one, buy a copy of Olatunji’s classic “Drums of Passion”. Next, go out and buy a copy of “Love Drum Talk”, also by Master Babatunde. It’s put out by Chesky Music (www.chesky.com).

Let’s see. . . Copyright. Simply enough, there is no copyright. There’s nothing that will prevent the overworked / underpaid drones at Kinko’s from just running off a couple of dozen (but please remember, you can download it for free at www.mindbodyspirit.us. . .). These rhythms have been around for hundreds and thousands of years longer than any human that could claim to own them and anyone that tries to reap a profi t off of them just needs to come up with a new plan; these are free. Was this hard work? Hell, the spell-check alone took me almost 2 hours. . .

Traditionally African rhythms were passed down word-of-mouth and by demonstration and practice. This was a great way of doing things in ancient Africa. The land was made up of a couple thousand wandering tribes that didn’t speak the same language, and nobody had a written version of any of the languages. Guess what? We have the ability to read and write now. And while it’s always good to commit things to memory (that’s a nice way of saying “memorize”) we have committed these songs to paper to make drumming more accessible to the entire world, not just those that have the disposable time to practice with a teacher for 15+ hours a week.

Another nice aspect of having the rhythms written down is that there is some consistency. No two people are going to remember a rhythm the same way if they don’t hear it regularly (I still sometimes hum my old favorite “Don’t go ‘round tonight, for it’s bound to take your wife. There’s a baboon on the right. . .)

This edition is a work in progress. Of all of the rhythms in the world, these don’t even scratch the surface. Have a rhythm that you’d care to contribute? E-mail us at the store. Give us as much information as you can about the song and it might make it into one of the updates. Will we pay you? Yeah! We’ll send you a FREE COPY of the book! Check to website often- We’ll add updates every couple of months, or so. (www.mindbodyspirit.us)

This text is formatted to be printed (you’ll need to set your margins to the maximum) and is designed to be spiral-bound across the top. This allows for maximum room across the page for notes and what-not. Again, Kinko’s will be happy to help you in this regard. It’ll be about $5, but it’s well worth it. $5 for what is soon to be one of the best drumming text books out there; You could do worse.

Enjoy the book. Enjoy drumming. Enjoy the fact that you have the ability to take up such a physically, mentally and spiritually rewarding hobby. Share you talent with as many people as you can. And for G*od’s sake, don’t mess up your fi ne-motor skills by screwing around with drugs. The choice is yours- choose not to be a moron.

That’s it. That’s all I know.

This is a great starting exercise. You play each one 4 times, then you move on to the next. When you get to the end of number 6, just cycle back around to number 1 and keep going. Mastering these rhythms will prove invaluable to you in learning to play the drum.

Apply the same approach (4X repeats) in solo practice to groups of rhythms, such as the rhythms for Fanga, Samba, et cetera. Not only will this enable you to learn the individual rhythms, but it will also enable you to switch from rhythm to rhythm, easily fi lling in the gaps between. This exercise will also lead to a very good understanding of how the rhythms relate to each other when you play them using Baba’s method.

Baba ends the GUN, GO DO, PA TA section with an exercise, noted below, that uses the three essential tones. This is also a good exercise to use daily as an effective warm-up. Not only is it good practice, but when mastered it becomes pretty fun, also.

To use the notation below (many thanks to Arthur Hull) try this; tap your fi nger in a slow, steady rhythm, one tap for every box in the phrase below. In this case, you would have eight taps per phrase. Keep on tapping, and once you’re comfortable with knowing where the fi rst tap (the downbeat) of every eight is, try singing the GUN, GO DO, PA TA pattern along with the tapping. The GUN should always start on the fi rst beat. If you think of the phrase in four beats, as the numbers signify, but keep tapping in eight, the rhythm may feel more fl uid.

PATTERNS

In this section. Baba covers some basic rhythms. These are basic structures that many of the African rhythms are based on. Next to practicing regularly, listening and watching Baba (or in our case, Melvin) play these rhythms is the best way to learn them. We will notate them as well, so that you can recall them easier and spend more time on the individual rhythms. Baba uses the same patterns for both the GO DO and PA TA tones. The patterns below are in the same order as Baba plays them when he fi rst demonstrates the GO DO patterns on the drum, after singing them, only we have added a “•” to emphasize a silent beat (PAUSE). So fi rst sing along and then play on. As Baba emphasizes,

IF YOU CAN SING IT, YOU CAN PLAY IT!”
