Another one of our favourite ways to make percussion music is using body percussion. Greg Sheehan is a bit of a pioneer when it comes to the use of this kind of music in teaching and performing, and we hope to have some lessons up on the site soon where you yourself can start working on your claps, mouth pops chest slaps and 7-7-2 number diamonds! (some of the things we are using in the following piece). For now - check out the video below as a great example of how it can be used in a challenging and fun way.
We were lucky enough to work with Greg in Byron Bay for a couple of weeks in July 09, and Greg came up with this piece for us to do quite quickly once he had shown us the basic moves. Enjoy!
