Glen Velez - Founding Father of the Modern Frame Drum Movement | The Power of Rhythm Podcast

Four time Grammy Award winner and founding father of the modern frame drum movement, Glen Velez shares his rich experience in our discussion. Listen to his unique drumming style and get to know what he created together with Steve Reich and the Paul Winter Consort. Glen has been performing with my MegaDrums group, together with Zakir Hussain, Airto Moreira, Leonard Eto from "KODO" and other top musicians of our time. He is specialized in frame drums from around the world. Velez’s virtuosic combinations of hand movements, and finger techniques, together with his compositions have opened new possibilities for musicians.

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I first saw Glen with the Paul Winter Consort in the mid 80’s. When he played a solo on the large bodhran, I was fascinated, but when he played a solo on the riq, I was completely blown away and decided that night that I had to learn how to play these wonderful drums. Thank you Glen.
