percussion with vocal percussion and mouth sounds and the
possibilities are endless. Body Electric 2.0 explores some of
these possibilities in the form of grooves and other rhythm

lessons to his credit and through various mistakes and
situations, he put together a drum circle program that
reached hundreds of elementary students. This humorous
quick read addresses everything from how to arrange the
instruments and students, to the basics of drumming, to
how to start a groove, to how to have a drum circle without

while celebrating individuality. This resource will help you
do just that, immediately and successfully! Contents: Dazed
