How To Play West African Drums : Beginning Djembe Drum Tips

[kidsspirit]

Are good musicians that much cheaper than good microphones????

[MrThomaschapman]

Doesn't this chap have magnificent talent? Though it's moderately disturbing to read the level of negativity that pervades most of the socially ignorant comments posted. Simply awful that some folks are so publicly ill-mannered. Classless folk, no doubt.

Well done mr drummer man.

[MrKodyska]

Did you get this drum form Toys R us? Sure sounds like it....

[jbrad1211]

Please repost or just dub in less painful audioj! Can't take it!

[ricoadventuravideos]

im wondering how this instrument is used with other instruments

[Drewberry32]

LOL... "It can go very faaast =D, *metal poles clapping* "

[throbule]

One of the worst videos I've ever heard - the sound quality is just so bad it makes the video irrelevant because it is unwatchable, and the plank who is presenting it has the personality of a sponge.

[Urbansnowboarder1981]

quick hands, but the sound is aweful. dude! Keep the shitty recordings from making that wonderful instrument from sounding like shit!

[turqouisflame]

heisfkf

[JerrysTube]

Actually....the Bass sound in the middle is called the "Gune" sound. ( pronounced "Goon").....Then on the edge..."Go" sound....then the very very edge of the drum head sound is called "Pah".

That's IF you're really doing African Djembe. Have fun dude.

[djembeboy218]

dude. Michael knows what he's talking about. you may have a different teacher than him that said that it is called something different, but that doesn't mean what he's playing is wrong. don't hate just because he does something different, and don't tell him he's not 'really" playing djembe.

[lojadolivro]

like I say, your too white lol cheers

[483fuck]

si ma tiratela meno

[gkokaisel]

The sound recording is absolutely awful. No point in even posting this video with crappy sound like that. I have yet to see one good video from expert village on any subject!

[phartnauker]

lol great drummer, bad teacher, bad sound quality, and pronounces djembe wrong.

[thisizit]

your technique is perfect, but the distorted sound of your camera makes me cringe.

[toddgerdan]

well! michael markus is with expert village?! Iretract my statement about you people having no Fola drummers!

[zuhosido]

GREAT TO SEE YOU ON YOUTUBE MICHAEL! - Lauren (former student)

[conscienceking10]

[JFocus47]

Oh shit its michael markus!!!

[upirek79]
