  • what size is ur djembe?

  • hello, it's a 10".

  • Thank you. I am new to Djembe drumming but I play guitar. It is nice to see you break it down into useable theory, most of the videos I have seen are " someone jamming and then they say, play that " that is not a lesson. You are a good teacher, well spoken and easy to follow. Take Care. Joseph W. , Cape Cod, MA, USA

  • hey waterrabbit,

    appreciate your encouragement :)

  • i dont understand how many slaps (with fingers) you play whilst playing thee 3 base. please reply.

  • hi initbludz,

    the beat broken down, is:

    Btt Btt Btt ttt Sttt

    B = Bass

    t = touch

    S = slap / closed harmonic tone

    there are 3x3 + 4 beats, 16 in all.

    can also be counted as 1ena 2en 3ena 4ena (also 16)

see all
