Sinossi

"Drumming Beats" explores the captivating story of drums and rhythm, revealing their profound influence on music history and diverse cultures. The book journeys across centuries, highlighting drumming not just as a musical practice but as a fundamental aspect of human culture.

 
Did you know that drums were used in ancient civilizations for communication, religious ceremonies, and even warfare? Or that the talking drums of West Africa, the tabla drums of India, and the taiko drums of Japan each hold unique cultural significance?

 
The book examines the evolution of drums as instruments, the diverse types of drums found worldwide, and the dynamic role of rhythms in various cultural contexts. It's structured in four key parts: introducing drumming's origins, exploring different types of drums, delving into the creation and impact of rhythms, and considering the practical applications of drumming, such as rhythm therapy.

 
By drawing on ethnomusicology, archaeology, and historical records, "Drumming Beats" offers a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural impact of drums, making it an essential resource for music enthusiasts, students, and anyone curious about the pervasive influence of percussion.

    As one of the seminal social revolutions in human history, the French Revolution holds a unique legacy, especially in the West. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. 
    The early years of the French Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. 
    The height of Republican France’s tyranny came during a 10 month period forever known as the Reign of Terror, the most notorious and arguably most memorable part of the French Revolution. One of the first victims of the Reign of Terror was its most famous: former French Queen Marie Antoinette. But Antoinette was followed by thousands more, including everyone from aristocrats to clergy to prostitutes and even instrumental revolutionaries like Danton, Desmoulins, and, most notably, Robespierre. It was Robespierre whose position on the Committee of Public Safety made him the Reign of Terror’s instrumental figure until he himself became a victim of it in July 1794. Robespierre’s date with the guillotine is often considered the official end of the Reign of Terror, but by then it is estimated that at least 16,000 people were guillotined in that time and possibly 25,000 more were summarily executed across the country.

    When both levees and governments failed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, an organization calling itself the Common Ground Collective formed to become the largest anarchist inspired organization in modern US history. In solidarity with people in New Orleans, Common Ground built medical clinics, distributed aid, formed neighborhood assemblies and created food security through community gardens. The group also defied unjust laws by resisting home demolitions, and defended communities from white militias and police brutality.  
    Black Flags and Windmills—equal parts memoir, history and organizing philosophy—maps the intertwining of Common Ground co-founder scott crow’s radical experiences and ideas with Katrina’s reality, vividly illustrating how people under extraordinary circumstances built local grassroots power and collective liberation. It is a story of resisting indifference, rebuilding hope amidst collapse, and struggling against the grain to create better worlds.
