Futureman's Drum and Percussion Camp: Drums, Percussion, and Evolution

Nashville, TN: Anyone who has ever banged a drum or pondered the
vibrational quality of the universe will want to make the pilgrimage to a
unique workshop being offered this spring in Dickson, TN (near Nashville).
"Futureman's Drum and Percussion Camp: Drums, Percussion, and Evolution" is
the vision of Grammy-award winning percussionist Roy Wooten, better known as
Futureman of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Scheduled to take place March
24-28, 2001, this event promises to open your mind, improve your technique,
and heighten your awareness of the interrelation of percussion with all of
life.

In addition to playing his unique Synthaxe Drumitar with the Flecktones for
the past decade, Futureman has studied universal phenomena such as Phi (The
Golden Mean), Pi, and the Periodic Table of the Elements as they relate to
music. His lessons will include not only physical playing techniques, but
also philosophical, scientific and mathematical concepts that have been
hugely successful in opening many people to entirely new ways of thinking
about rhythm and music.

The five-day course is open to anyone, not just musicians, and is expected to
draw students from around the world. Lessons will include music theory,
"Rhythmelodic" theory, indigenous techniques, cultural aspects of drumming,
translating patterns into sound, rhythms of Pi and Phi, and much more.
Instruments will range from the indigenous and traditional acoustic, to the
modern and unusual electronic.

Many special guests will take part in the program. Instructors include J. D.
Blair, of Shania Twain's band and the Victor Wooten Band, Percussion
instructor at Berklee school of music and master drummer Kenwood Dennard,
Gordon Gottlieb, head of percussion at Julliard, Joe Craven, of the David
Grisman Quintet, composer's staff at Manhattan School of music Paul Brantley,
renowned tabla player Aloke Dutta, Dr Arvin Scott percussion instructor at
University of Georgia, and more to be announced. Scholarship funds are
available, for international attendees. Discounts for early registration by
January 13th. More info at Indigenous Planet, or 770-939-9090.
