Yedi is a Limbs piece for dumbek and frame drum.  It is a good intro piece for players new to hand drumming but also works well for advanced players.

Yedi means "seven" in Turkish and this piece is in fact in seven counts.  It explores different divisions of seven counts to create new and interesting phrases.  It also utilizes a melodic element in the form of two "loops", cued by one of the two players or an assistant.

Included in the download are a notation key, a score and individual parts.
