I like the video player on "reggaelinx website"better, it allows you to zoom in and play in slow motion. Plus they allow you to play your own playlist. You guys should check it out.

Sounds good. Are you familiar with Yankadi, the Guinea rhythm? It's a great 12/8 rhythm for reggae, and kind of reminds me of what you're playing.

Maybe I can get Skewb to retune my drum... hehe!

[Reggaemedia]

[MitchellobLite]

is that pedal-tambourine setup custom made or is it something common?

The low tuning of the djembe is intentional; The low tone is more meditative and healing. It's a matter of taste,of course. Many players do not like the high pitched "gunshot" sound of the traditional tuning. If there were only one way to play a musical instrument then Miles Davis would have to play the trumpet like John Phillip Sousa, and John Coltrane would have to play the Sax like Guy Lombardo( no offense Guy)

i don't know if it's just on this recording or something but your djembe doesn't sound to good, pretty good playing though.

[BrunoAllard]

It looks to me like he's playing a djembe from Ghana. You can usually tell by the lightness of the wood. They often have carvings of elephants on them. Each type of wood has different sound characteristics. If you want a fuller, more resonant sound, you can get a drum from Guinea, Mali, or the Ivory Coast, but they tend to be more expensive.
