Good info but pointless w/o cd

The book has good info but how can u learn to drum w/o the CD....I'm always leary to purchase used books that come w/ extras but reviews had the CD w/theirs plus the acceptable copies said no CD so I assumed the others had the CD....I was wrong.....very disappointed....to me the book is useless w/o the CD.....I will not buy any more used books that is suppose to have extra materials.....a waste of money

A beautiful book to experience as well as to read.

Sacred Drumming is a quality book with beautiful illustrations as well as beautiful words. Not only does it give valuable information about how to drum, but Sacred Drumming provides additional information about the beliefs and ideas that contribute to drumming being the sacred experience that it is. While people often find these ideas shrouded in a cloak of mystery, Sacred Drumming presents this information in an interesting and easy to understand way. I always feel good after reading from this book. The CD that comes with it is a great gift as well.

A great book about drumming from a shamanic point of view.

This is a beautiful book, very well illustrated with photos. It is as much about shamanism from a Native American perspective as it is about drumming, providing information about the four directions, consecrating sacred space, and many other topics. The CD that comes with this book is very high quality and enjoyable as well.
