I just want to thank you Mr. Harding. I'm in the process of picking up the Djembe and I've found your tutorials to be awesome for beginners. Your rhythms are simple, well-explained, and you generally give several drumming patterns to choose from. You've made it easy for me to keep coming back to practice! Cheers!

@MelodicArts Hi so there is another calypso rhythm same name but different than the caribbean calypso, interesting. I wonder how the rest of the instruments will sound together with this pattern. I apologized for the comment I made, I see that it is an extensive world of rhythms, and I do not know all of them, not even maybe 25% of them, but we always learn. "Keep on Drumming"
Dude youre killing me
With the fat dog and broccoli! Not a good way to start playing.

@OneDrumBum Thanks for the comment, and I understand where you're coming from. However, it is ancient practice to speak drum rhythms. Lots of teachers do it, and many students find it helpful.

Thanks, salsolo1. Yes, it does sound more like soca to me than calypso, but I learned it from a Senegalese drummer, David Thaiw, and calypso is the name he gives it, so I'm honouring his tradition. Keep on playing!
