  • @glorplaxy Baba was the first generation of drummers to come over and play in the West, so all the players have respect for him as an elder brother. If you played with the African community over here you would know that. His drumming is full of spirit; which is the essence and essential ingredient of African Drumming. Take your slick drumming to an African dance class in a city near you and see what reaction you get . Peace.

  • @swamisnyc LOL, you're going to try to say you've played with great players from Mali and Guinea and that they think THIS is some sort of example of great playing? Talk about a beginner. Wanna youtube battle it out? You post a vid and I'll post one.

  • @glorplaxy Have you ever played with dancers with anybody from Mali or Guinea? I dont think you even play djembe. You sound like a beginner with a bad attitude.

  • @swamisnyc LOL, which "great players"? The fucking old hippie woman with henna drums at some lame ass drum circle? You know nothing about real djembe... Check out Petite Mamady or Harouna Dembele and you will realize that the rhythms in this video here are indeed mind-numbingly simple and bad. You obviously have gone nowhere in your drumming if you think just because some lame-ass hippie puts a funny hat on and speaks of "feeling" is a great player even when the rhythms suck.

  • @glorplaxy you should zip it. All the great players love and respect Baba. If you feel that the simpler rythyms are "mind numbing", you havent gone anywhere in your drumming.

  • I liked that badda badda bum bum part

  • @slushuf, How you figure? "Black" People come in all shades...ain't got nothing to do with no Crakkka!!!!!

  • too much albino gene in the brother on the right

  • the guy in the green
