Just recently received this via email. It is a 6:35 min. video where a renowned drummer breaks down rhythms into fractions! He shows how technology is used in creating music. Listen carefully, he says something quite profound about technology and creativity towards the end! I am passing this one on to some of my Math teacher friends!!! :-)

The Rhythm Track
When students ask, "Why do I need math? I'm going to be a musician!", introduce them to world-renowned drummer Ndugu Chancler. This six-minute movie contains amazing drumming, a breakdown of the mathematics of rhythm and a professional's opinion on technology and creativity.

That site sounds awesome! Problem is, I couldn't access it and I really want to see it. It wanted me to log in to an Onslow County Schools mail address & I don't have that anymore. I even tried cutting and pasting into a Word document and then taking the address only & putting it into the address bar. Didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks. QE3
