Akom,
Where can I find some gwo ka rhythms on the internet? I know there are several rhythms within the gwo ka style, but I need to know what they are and get some notations. I'm not finding what I need on the web. Pouvez vous m'aider?

Hi

I just realized that the attached pictures of this thread were replaced by some links... what does it take to have the pictures again?

Thanks.

Akdom thanks for this posting and the time it took. If I ever find a wine Barrell I will use these techniques to make my own drum.

Hi

I finally got around to finishing my drum...Its not a true representation of a Gwo ka (no Zoban) but it sounds good and plays well. Check out the shots...

Heres a vid of how it sounds:
