Frame Drum stroke connection to elements: Frame Drum Circle Demo- Element Song w/ Miranda Rondeau 

Element Song Introduction
Honoring the Elements through singing and a simple pulse
The connection of the drum strokes to the elements
My late frame drum teacher Layne Redmond who wrote the book When the Drummers Were Women- A Spiritual History of Rhythm passed down that the drum strokes are connected to the 4 elements.
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT to Layne Redmond and Hamza El Din if you share this connections with others.
This was passed down to Layne Redmond from Hamza El Din a Nubian musician, singer and frame drummer.
This is a good way to honor them.
Found a video with a brief demonstration by Hamza El Din

Element Song by Miranda Rondeau
Water Water Cleanse my mind
Make me peaceful make me kind
Fire fire burning bright
Turn my darkness into LIGHT
(Thank you for your sacred Light)
Earth oh earth you nourish me
From your body you feed me
Air oh air my breath you give
without you we cannot live
