I wouldn't call this hip hop, it is authentic djembe notes with his own creative style. This is how a djembe should be played, and held, and sound like for the size of its head surface. Out of at least 25 djembe videos here today, this was by far the best playing & sound so far.
Hey man can you suggest me any websites from where i can learn some of these more complex faster patterns?? I have already watched your video more then 10 timez... just love it!!! Thanks :)
@fahimmurshed Hi, Thanks for your comments. What I mainly do is play drumset hiphop grooves and fill it, with sixteenth and triple-sixteenth, if it is called that way. The triplets get a strong accent every third hit. Start slow, speed it up, when slow tempo is smooth. Then operate this thing into the grooves, just try out, keep the best sounding trys in mind and have fun. Keep on, Thanks again, Matthias
@KirkTheGod actually, you can't get those pops with it under the djembe, and you can still get most of the bass coming off the head. Some people use two mics, but one good one is usually enough. He couid move it closer though, and that would bring out the bass a lot more.
Actually, if you put a mic directly under a djembe (or worse yet, inside it), the drum will act as one big Helmholtz resonator and you'll get some really nasty feedback.
Music is a 'Freedom Of Expression' - Always has been, always will be. I've heard many a 'HipHop' track which have impossible drums Ie:- To play live would take 2 or more drummers! - Which is fake, and born of a ComputerBased Studio. This however, could of been played 100's of years ago.. and beyond the if ever there was a breakdown of the PC's and the internet! :o)
we are all at different places in our lives and music, there is no right, just in the right place you need at the time. I have played drums awhile now and my taste and style is always evolving. Let a guy be free to do his thing without an opinion about it being the wrong way to play or an insult to culture. I'm just your average white guy that loves an African beat, American, Indian, Japanese, Chinese and on and on. Music evolves and is here on the planet for our enjoyment, we are creative.

my name is Matthias Maccabee! also a djembe player!!! lol. you are great brotha keep up the good work!!! I play a very similar style as you. my vid quality is low cuz these are very old vids but check out my stuff too!!! cheers and keep it up brotha!!
Lov ed it! Keep up the great work! ;) And personally I think that any man who can play an instrument like that is dam sexxxy so shut up all you assholes out there who can't respect someone's art!!
hey next time, put a mic up under the drum too, then it picks up more the bass sounds while picking up the higher hits from the top, double mic'ing for djembes is always better, good job tho
@leeyatding how the hell would you know that? I know how to play djembe traditionally, but I choose to take advantage of the versatility of the drum and play it non-conventionally most of the time. It usually fits with modern (non-african) genres better when played in a non-traditional way and I use it to create a beat to accompany rock and folk music.
you fucking idiot. music is art and art is creating. this guy is bad ass at what he does. all you fucking haters out there who get mad cause people pick up instruments and innovate, shut the fuck up and go back to your music class and continue your structured shit while real motherfuckers keep innovating. nice drmming my dude. and nice comment mpolson74. i appreciate that.
Man it is super obvious dat u dunnu wut is music...man dis guy is doin hiphop rythem on these drums..hiphop...and he has done a gr8 job in doin hiphop rythem on dat...it is creative
You don't here the bass note? Or are you implying it needs more to be hip-hop? I think it is his interpretation of hip-hop beats which is hip-hop in itself. Hip Hop is an attitude as well and brother personifies it with his smile and lively beats and attittude. I particularly like the hand claps which give it a sense of human vibrations as well. ONE
to tell you the truth, I don't like this video much. Traditional djembe playing sounds much better than that. try that instead of hip hop. Hip hop djembe is like 'afraid to make any noise while playing' style. :D
dude i love you flow aman im mostly a set player but i just got big into playing djemebes I really think they make you a better percussionist over all keep it up.
well done, next time, place the microphone at the end of the djembe foot, that's where the sound is coming from, we'll be able to hear the bass better
It's just crazy to me that this only has 4 stars with those slap tones and flams you got going for you. If this was a hot girl playing half as well or some hippie playing faster but w/o any slaps this would get 5 stars easy, its just ridiculous.
dashowest00, I hate to see the anonymity of the internet make someone so comfortable insulting people the way you are. So I ask you, Anthony, what would Mr. White think of you if he knew the things you were saying right now?
he would probably also see the lame drumz being played. being the connoisseur he is. and its the internet like you said. so dont get too bent up about the insults. =) and mxm190 has obviously never listened to Uyama Hiroto or Nujabes or the Juggaknots or any of the true hiphop artists.
Your doing this all wrong, to be real hip hop style you have to screem the F-word every few beats and then raise your 9mm finger gun after every bass stroke.
your so gay and i can beat my meat better than that. and for your litlle claps in between thats actually the gayest thing i have ever seen in my entire life. give up music. you will never be able to play any instrument. this drum is possibly the easiest instrument to play other than whistling and you suck at it. SUCK ONE.
oh yeah -by the way, that video you've put on youtube is the lamest thing I've ever seen. Let's see how you play Djembe then -stick something up for us to look at
shutup you wouldnt know real music if it was actually playing on these lame ass radio stations you listen to today. and i know that joke got you haha dis negro tried to say it was lame. nice comeback with the "intelligent" im so grown up bullshit. just shut the fuck up. k thanks. =)
These comment's u' likerollinstone' and fuckycum (like' what kinda bullshit name is that?) have done nothing but make u stick your own foot in you're mouths. U all come off as being very child'ish. And what difference does it make if this guys white or black (Spangenberg sounds jewish' which is fine by me) That's why I call u racist.
Skin color seems to bother u. Or is that just a lil bit bitch I smell?
That's what I'm talking about' u see people like dashowest00 and likerollinstone' all they can do is show nothing but disrespect and bad mouth others who don't think like they do. Why?
Mostly ignorance' and I notice dashowest00 comes off as a racist.
Ok' likerollinstone. U just answered my questions. Myself' yes I can play a jembe as well alot of other instruments and I can write lyrics too. I can rap when I feel it' but I prefer singing' cause I think it take more skill to do so. What else can u do' besides taking shit? And it seem u don't even do that very well.
ur a clown, u think ur hard u aint,i play djmebe an loads other instruments, an if u cant appreciate hip hop get out the way cuz ur too old 2 understand, for the times r a changin
Well then' come on and hang out in D.C. I'll show what being hard is all about. We got lottsa rappers 'n' poets. Lotsa thugs 'n' thug wannabe's. NYC' been there and done that too.
LA' hell.... I was born in south central' but I stand by what I say and yes' the times they are a-changing' but musically not always 4 the better. Go back' and check out people like Louis Armstrong' Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker from the 30s 'n'40s and tell me that todays music' with all the fake sampling is better
1 last thing' I never said I didn't appreciate Hip-hip' when its inventive and positive' it has real value. Not when its bragging about guns' money' bitches' and disrespect' which very prevalent in hip-hops music and life style. A good example' the way u been addressing me in you're comments.
Its cool drumming' I'm just sick of the term Hip-Hop. Back in the late 70s everything that was funky sounding was called Disco. Now its Hip-Hop. James Brown just called it soul.
To me its just music' thats all. People always have lable things.
it has to be a baby goat skin.male .the best sound ever.and u can put it in the sun for a while or warm it up with light bulb and then play.that s how we do in africa.
thnks alot for that, i recently got my djembe str8 from africa with the goat fur around the edges.. idk if it was a baby goat r not but it delivers good sounds on a weekly basis, but im still not entirely sure how to tune it.. any tips on that?
i dunno why these two guys here below me are that negative, but this beat is calm and not so fast like more of these movies... he's not off beat anyway and i dont know what movie you've seen, but i dont see any dancers in here...
on-topic: great beat man... i'm bored to my own beats so i'm going to use your beats... TY
Go to a West African Dance Class with live music, and you will see the difference. In DJEMBE there are multiple beats played by one person, that multiple dancers can dance to, and niether of them would be off beat. I will give him kudos for at least TRYING, especially in trying to understand an art from my culture!
THIS IS NOT DJEMBE. I DANCE DJEMBE AND SABAR. HIP HOP IS HOP, DJEMBE IS DJEMBE AND TRYING TO SAY THIS IS HIP HOP DJEMBE IS AN INSULT TO BOTH GENRE'S. Now, if you are just trying to learn to keep a beat on the drum, and your trying to be a little fancy by throwing in a hand clap or two, then I guess this is for you.
Der Hammer!

1 last thing' I never said I didn't appreciate Hip-hip' when its inventive and positive' it has real value. Not when its bragging about guns' money' bitches' and disrespect' which very prevalent in hip-hops music and life style. A good example' the way u been addressing me in you're comments.

Its cool drumming' I'm just sick of the term Hip-Hop. Back in the late 70s everything that was funky sounding was called Disco. Now its Hip-Hop. James Brown just called it soul.
To me its just music' thats all. People always have lable things.

Hey likerollinstone' can u even play a jembe' or are u just skilled at taking trash?
Cause what I hear in alot of what they lable Hip-hop is just that. Alotta trashy rhyming and not much real musical talent. There I said it.
Also if u took the name likerollinstone from Dylan's song' please give it back.
Rapper's could learn a thing or 2 from Dylan.
Like how to rhyme with good taste and elquent.

roosjeleentje 3 years ago
i dunno why these two guys here below me are that negative, but this beat is calm and not so fast like more of these movies... he's not off beat anyway and i dont know what movie you've seen, but i dont see any dancers in here...
on-topic: great beat man... i'm bored to my own beats so i'm going to use your beats... TY

HotshoT's right. It's not traditional play and technique, but it's quite nice to hear.. Big up.

Go to a West African Dance Class with live music, and you will see the difference. In DJEMBE there are multiple beats played by one person, that multiple dancers can dance to, and niether of them would be off beat. I will give him kudos for at least TRYING, especially in trying to understand an art from my culture!

THIS IS NOT DJEMBE. I DANCE DJEMBE AND SABAR. HIP HOP IS HOP, DJEMBE IS DJEMBE AND TRYING TO SAY THIS IS HIP HOP DJEMBE IS AN INSULT TO BOTH GENRE'S. Now, if you are just trying to learn to keep a beat on the drum, and your trying to be a little fancy by throwing in a hand clap or two, then I guess this is for you.

at 48 seconds your time FELL off. The claps are OK. Learn congas, they're more fun and useful.
