A Fast 6/8 Rhythm: Djembe tutorials with Bruce Harding

[Xokkeikatt]

A friend of mine went to West Africa and came back with a rhythm he learned from a tribe that he taught us called the "crocodile" . This rhythm is exactly the same rhythm. We sing with it

"Ya de ya de ya.... ba ma yay....., Sa su la de bama...., ko de la toe yay." ( wish I could show how it is sung.

Nice work! I also have a couple of wee videos showing some basic djembe moves. Thanks, Norm the Drummer.

Hi Benny. My wedding ring doesn't come off anymore, and is slim so it has never caused any damage. Yes, I agree, it is always best to remove rings.

One lesson for you.. Don't play with a ring or whatever on your hands.. it may brake your djembe membrane, or even make your finger bleed. Other then that.. coool
