Practice Tips

Cycles
Read page 22 of the NWR book for a full explanation of cycles. While you play a rhythm, practice calling out cycles of various lengths by calling "one" on the first beat of your cycle. 

Play Along!
The  ensemble Helm has a few Karachi tracks on the album Itneen. You can hear samples on their website. You can also listen to samples, purchase tracks or buy the whole album from iTunes ($.99/$9.99) or PayPlay.fm ($.88/ $8.88).
