Description:
There is no doubt that the sound of drums and percussion has a tangible effect on the human body and spirit. To hear a group of drummers playing together seems to awake something of a tribal memory in all of us.
Gongs, cymbals and bells always evoke a feeling of auspicious ceremony. The Healing Drum is not only a wonderful uplifting and inspirational musical journey combining a wealth of instruments and drums, but essentially an opportunity for the listener to join in and play along with their own drum.
Chris Puleston includes introductory sleeve notes and tutorial instructions on how to participate on the djembe drum. Open to all levels, you can play along or simply relax and enjoy this outstanding recording.
Biography:
Chris Puleston, a very gifted and talented drummer and percussionist, has a house full of exotic percussion and every part of his being seems to exist to create rhythm. Chris has studied Indian music and been involved in many musical projects.
A multi-talented percussionist, Chris was exposed to his chosen profession from an early age. His father was a Jazz and Dance Hall drummer through the 1940’s and 50’s, and taught Chris hand percussion and kit drumming from the age of four. By the time Chris was fourteen, he was studying classical percussion, and playing in both orchestral ensembles, and rock cover bands.
For the past twenty-five years, Chris has played in a staggering number of ensembles, playing incredibly varied musical styles. These include rock cover bands, spacey rock synthesiser music, blues funk, experimental and improvisational Jazz, and Bee Bop, to name just a few.
