Strong melody is not something you'd expect from an all-percussion album, but with Brent Lewis at the helm, that's exactly what you get. Falling somewhere between African tribal and Caribbean styles, the music of EARTH DRUM RHYTHMS is a joy to listen to. In addition to composing and producing the album, Lewis also performs solo on the Ikauma drums (a set of 22 tuned drums on a large stand that are designed to achieve a variety of tones). Most of the tracks fall into the mid-tempo range and have a gentle, rhythmic quality that could be used for meditation, dance/choreography or simply as background music.
