The Fingers of Fury website was the creation of Melbourne based percussionist Matt Stonehouse. His Darbuka playing has inspired many people all over the world. Many of you may already know him as ‘Pacerman265′ on YouTube.
Having travelled extensively learning, teaching, recording and performing, Matt thought it was time to gather a forma community of like minded drummers and the rest…is darbuka history!

Fingers of Fury now has members from almost every country on the planet and of all different playing abilities, from the fresh beginner to drummers such as darbuka player Yonatan Bar Rashi from Israel and Tamburello player Andrea Piccioni of Italy.

There is alot to be said for being part of a musical community. Apart from learning from all of the content you also get support, inspiration, new friends, fresh ideas, people to bounce your ideas and dreams off and much more. Being in a positive and supportive community is such a healthy thing for your darbuka and frame drumming.

The site now features over one hundred tutorial videos, webcam updates and the e-book ‘Percussion of the Arabic World and beyond.’ This e-book includes clear images of each exercise and 280 soundfiles of the lessons!

Darbuka players and frame drummers of all levels will gain a huge amount by becoming a member of the community. There is also a new three month course for beginner darbuka players becoming available to members in december 2009. Take a look for yourself!
