[FireTheMissiles]

Slaps are really hard to perfect...

[zurizuri92]

A really slow motion will solve my problem ... I got my drum today..so...i'm trying to work with it...

[bishopdante]

[kkennow]

NICE to Sonic & birryd! it's not nearly as easy as he makes it look, especially getting consistent tone. my hands HURT from working on this! :)

[birryd]

great work sebon fire for de haters peace and lov to the players of instruments for they shall surely be there powa of de drum

[Sonic7412]

Wow drugged you are an idiot my friend. If you truely new music, you would think this video was amazing. Sure it doesnt look hard, but to get those sounds so precise each time is just simply amazing. People need to stop trying to "one up" people on You Tube. Embrace anyone who has the passion for music. Play with them, not against them. Dont try and be better than everyone else. Just sit back, smoke a bowel, and love the music.

[deftonespeacelove88]

@Sonic7412 totally agree. right frame of mind.

[layla89james]

@Sonic7412 well said!

@Sonic7412 Try not to be so quick to judge. Clearly this is a video meant for beginners. And its a good vid if you have no idea where to start. Hard is always merely a matter of perception. If you watch and are a visual learner its clear what and what his hands are doing. Playing with this on your own drum while imulating his you can achieve a similar result. We must allow for others to have their own process to achieve thier own mastery when they can merge thier body with the music.

[gedguts]

you had to play for years to learn get sound like this :) nice...

[druggged]

WHAT A LIE... this takes like 2 mins...

[greenblackswerl]

okay

[Tennisers]

sounds a little like the intro to stinkfist by tool

[leeyatding]

how to make the tone and the slap so different. i have been practising for quite a bit on my remo djembe but i really cant hear any imrpovement. is it me or my drum?

[Dreadjembe]

Get an Guinean Djembe, never Ghana.

[Dreadjembe]

or Remo

[leeyatding]

so you mean ghana and remo are not good for making great sound like yours
