Village Heartbeat offers a range of courses and workshops in the U.S. that take drumming into new evolutionary territory that is as much about personal growth as it is about rhythm and musical training.

Coming Soon-- Village Heartbeat Drum Tutorials
At the request of Zorina's students, VHB is going to produce a series of drum tutorials that can be used for students working individually or in a group setting.
Each CD will cover information on particular "families" of rhythms and how easy variations can be learned from a "root" drum pattern.
Notation will be included to be able to assist learning the parts that are included in each drum orchestration. You will be able to subscribe to these tutorials and download them from this website soon!
