wanting to form a deathmetal band incorporating many different instruments and percussions. djambe, different gongs (not so much the "gosh" kind) and so on. been playing for about 2 years now (mostly drum circles) but I want to break some habits and learn the fundamentals and so on... thanks for the vid!

what size is ur djembe?

[turbochickenstudios]

hello, it's a 10".

[WaterRabbit]

Thank you. I am new to Djembe drumming but I play guitar. It is nice to see you break it down into useable theory, most of the videos I have seen are " someone jamming and then they say, play that " that is not a lesson. You are a good teacher, well spoken and easy to follow. Take Care. Joseph W. , Cape Cod, MA, USA

[initbludz]

i dont understand how many slaps (with fingers) you play whilst playing thee 3 base. please reply.

[turbochickenstudios]

hi initbludz,

the beat broken down, is:

Btt Btt Btt ttt Sttt

B = Bass

t = touch

S = slap / closed harmonic tone

there are 3x3 + 4 beats, 16 in all.

can also be counted as 1ena 2en 3ena 4ena (also 16)

[sisskipisski]

thank u so much, what u do is very very usefull! i live in russia, singing, composing, songwriting, performing on stage. i play djembe for 1,5 month, by myself with no teacher - so surf the net for some usefull lessons. and yours are the best that i've found. thanx again!

Damn, I am trying to learn via those lessons, still hard but appreciate what you've acomplished.

[betelorg]

This series of lessons is brilliant, almost all the other stuff I've looked at is for African techniques or is a one off. This is a complete course from a great teacher! THANKS SO MUCH!

[turbochickenstudios]
