How to: Play an African Drum Wooden Basic Beats

This guy sold me a couple of drums from his very high-end super fly flea market stand somewhere in South Africa (ca. 2001) and through in the lesson very cool cat. I'm locating some info on him and how you can contact him to buy drums and give him a plug here... if you're him let me know :)

Why are so many so negative! As a percussionist for a fire troup, I found some cool material here. I don't recall the man stating he is an authority on djembe drumming. Other drummers are so arrogant. So what if he is applying contemporary European technique to the djembe. Diversity is what keeps us human. Try new things people.

Stop being a racist man.......the guy is good whether you like it or not........he might not be black maan but he sure can play that drum.......

The electric guitar comes not from Africa but I dont mind seeing an African play it......and if he is good then I can at least appreciate his talent not criticise him and call him a culture thief.........
