On Inner Rhythms: The Heartbeat of the Drum, master percussionist Randy Crafton explores the power of rhythm. Beginning with a percussion composition that mirrors the rhythms of the active mind and body, the "pulse" of Inner Rhythms gradually slows down, entraining heart rate, breathing, and brainwaves to slow down as well.
This meditative journey toward progressively deeper states of relaxation is built upon the beats and pulses of rain sticks, Nigerian Shaman drums, Cuban congas, African kalimbas, and more. Crafton's specific use of these instruments and rhythmic patterns draws connections between ancient healing wisdom and modern research, focusing on the influence of external pulses on the body's "inner rhythms."
