Master Konnakol with Henrik Andersen – Innovative Rhythm Training 

Unlock the power of rhythm through exclusive konnakol lessons with Henrik Andersen, one of the world’s foremost konnakol experts.

Henrik was the first to share “how-to” konnakol videos online in the 1990s, and his unique approach draws on years of study with a.o legendary percussionists Pete Lockett (UK) and Trilok Gurtu (IN).


As a vocalist, guitarist, and actor – not a traditional drummer – Henrik brings a fresh, creative perspective that breaks away from conventional rhythm teaching. With his own method developed over decades.

He offers original pedagogical tools, specially designed konnakol training programs from beginner to advanced professional level, and unique materials including four video tutorials and an in-depth book (available in the webshop).


Henrik’s lessons are not about performance—they are about creative growth, inspired by a 5000-year-old Indian vocal rhythm tradition that offers new pathways far beyond conventional “Western” rhythm education.


Whether you are new to konnakol or seeking to expand your rhythmic creativity at the highest level, Henrik’s innovative, holistic and highly personalized teaching will guide you forward.


Lessons available online (Zoom/Skype).
