Hola turbochicken, disculpa porque no se escribir en ingles, ¿esto que haces es freestyle verdad? no tiene que ver con djembe africano, mas bien parece una mezcla de congas y darbouka no?

hello elpolako,

sorry i don't understand. english, possible?

[elpolako79]

ok, i can try, but i don't write good in english. I ask for you about your technic and your style, it isn't african djembe style, it isn't oriental darbouka style, and it isn't afrocuban congas style, my question is: do you do a mixed style?? or freestyle?? I hope you can understand me. thank you so much

oh!

i'm actually a drummer, and somehow managed to devise this way of replicating the drumset beats / techniques onto the djembe. it's more of like what you said, free style. but it's really unorthodox. traditional african djembe players won't be too happy about this free style...but what i'm doing here is for contemporary / Christian music playing :)
