why is he teaching rudiments on a djembe? sure its nice to know, but he should be teaching djembe not snare hahaha

Step by step instructions are sometimes required to connect the heart to the brain...these videos are so perfect for someone like myself. I love music, and I have an excellent ear for it...However, there is NO WAY I could ever figure out how to make such beautiful patterns with my own hands.  My brain isn't built for freestyle, I need instructions... Thank you so much for these videos that explain instead of just show...please don't let the critics inhibit your instruction. You're awesome.

@bouns78 Yes this video is a joke, but the unfortunate part is that people who watch it think it is serious, unless they already know what djembe playing is.

Hi - just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make this video. As a lover of the Djembe I find that I learn different skills from different teachers so all tips are good tips. So thanks - Djembe love xx

lol this video is a joke ???

[pragmaticus123]

Ummmm.....why in the world do you fill up the WHOLE video with a paragraph of words? Usually ppl put that in the space BELOW the video, so that the audience can actually SEE what's going on.

@iooss420 Wow...now the truth comes out, we just had the sorry luck of butting heads. I dont have ego issues, bro just anger issues and a touch of ADD...lol...I remember shit years later and its all new again go figure...and lately I lost my temper at work and they promoted me to construction management...wierd uh? Best of luck to you with your music and your boy, and if I ever win the lotto maybe I can have a J with you and play some drums and have a good laugh about this all

@WestCoastRedneck69 I dont need the you tube communitys approval for anything. I dont even go on youtube anymore its a waste of time to me. It sucks you next thing you know youve been looking at videos for 5 hours. Unfortunatly for me all my drums are in a storage bin in San Diego. im counting the days til i get back and i can take a hit of L go to the beach with my djembe my boy and his 12 string and enjoy the sounds. There is no need for you to waste your energy on me friend.
