Kornel Horvath

One of the world’s great percussionists, Kornel Horvath is also one of its most original. Starting as a flutist, he then moved to percussion, teaching himself a unique approach rooted in the rhythmic traditions of his Hungarian homeland and Eastern Europe coupled with jazz, Indian, Arab, African and Latin influences. By fusing these various elements he developed the highly individual approach and unique sound that have made Kornel the first-call choice for so many major sessions and tours. In this lesson, Kornell demonstrates his unique hand technique that he developed in his home country away from outside influences. Relaxation and touch is paramount!
