This is great thank you 🙏
Aah .....brilliant ! Thankyou ⭐⭐⭐⭐
@@DaisyDebs glad you enjoyed it
thank you so much for this clear basic introduction to the Riqq
@@chrisd1 your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
💐🙏💚🧡👍🎶🎵🎼💐
Thank you!
@@L-ÂmeMuse thank YOU 🙏🏽 for watching
Soo inspired and great thank you!! 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
I'm excited to watch this! I wish I'd found your channel years ago! I have really only been able to identify Saidi and Chiftateli and get confused between Beladi, Malfouf, and Maksoum. (I'm sure there are others too!) They seem very identifiable when it's just the base rhythm without ornamentation. When those come in I have trouble distinguishing them.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Wow, the best video...I am amazed!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Best tutorial!
Thank you 🙏🏽, glad you enjoyed it
Amazing lesson, clear and concise. The Remo Renaissance is a good frame drum, with an awesome skin but, unfortunately, it lacks some tension in it.
Thank you 🙏🏽, yes it does but for the price it’s not a bad drum
This is exactly the video of techniques that I needed to find. How big is the drum you are using? To get a really good crisp almost plucked-like sound, what kind of drum does that best? One with a thinner frame and very thin skin?
🙏🙏🙏
Really good video. Thankyou.
Thats a nice way to practice the 5 hit roll,with the 8 beat. Thanks.
Great fun hanging out with you,and working on these rhythms. Thanks very much.
Great. Enjoyed the tutorial,and rhythms. I've recently started working on 2/4 polyrhythms,so this was good timing also. Look forward to more 👍🙂🎶
Aaaaaaaaaasssssiiiiiiifffffff !! You re the MAN…….😊😊😊
You two make me smile.
Woow love it! Thanks 💚🌳💚
Your very welcome and glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I appreciate this video so much! Thank you for your excellent content

Great to see you uploading new stuff! Stumbled upon Asif's tutorials and I'm finding them helpful :)
Excellent!

Verry cool thank you sooo much. Best wishes from Austria Tyrol ✌️
Thank you,

Excellent tutorial! I really like the combo of written words, vocalizing a, and actual drumming.
Thank you
So lovely to watch it a second time.
Love the drumming!
Thank you Lynn. Play or dance along and let us know how it went !!!
Hi, I’ve just today discovered yours & your wife’s channel. (Been watching & practicing with your videos for a couple of hours now). I’ve just started to learn how to play the frame drum for the past 8 weeks now & wanted to say thank you for your lessons. I’m finding them very helpful.😀🙏.
You’re welcome, glad they are helpful.
What a fun lesson! It's after midnight here so I'd better not join in but can't wait to play tomorrow!
Enjoy, glad you like it.
Great video!! Thank you. What size drum is that? It's just a Remo frame drum?
Hi Dawn thank , yes it’s just a plain Remo 22” renaissance head frame drum.
Thank you -- you have convinced me to get the big Remo tar! The dum is just right for supporting a chant. I've subscribed to your channel.
Thank you Charles, glad the video helped you. Yes the tar is brilliant for chanting etc as that’s what I also do with my wife. Thank you also for subscribing.
Hello Asif! Thank you for your great videos! They help me on my frame drum way! In this video you direct us to earlier videos of yours but after checking your channel I could find only videos starting from video 9 and later. Where can I find your earlier materials?
Hi, if you UA-cam “Nyamba Foundation” and then the playlists they are up on there. I need to link them onto my channel. Really glad the videos are so helpful
Awesome lesson. Amazing teacher. I want more. Do you have any more lessons on UA-cam or online courses?
Hi Mark, glad you liked the class. This was done as a series of lessons for The Nyamba Foundation. I am trying to get more things online. I’m running darbuka classes daily via zoom and playing for my wife’s classes and sound relaxation after her yoga classes and then cooking classes!!! Keep a check out on the channel. Take care and thank you again
(subscribed to your newsletter too 💛 )
i lovethis thank you
Great lesson we need more!
Thank you, yes it’s in the pipeline. Glad you enjoyed it
You are such an amazing teacher I keep looking for new videos???
Thank you
Great lesson! I'm only beginning my drumming journey, so very grateful for your taking in slow at the beginning 🙂 Thnx🙏🏽
Your welcome, we never really complete our journey. It just gets more interesting !
Super high quality video series! I hope you gain more viewers because these are super thorough. Where can I find the first vids in the series? I didn't see them in the channel list.
Hi Thank you so much, it’s lovely to have some feedback on my videos here’s the link to the first few in the series ua-cam.com/play/PLq7bC11-F8xqAva7uIgFEbw9R_7qJ8Icl.html
Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us your beautiful culture. I just bought one and I am over the moon with it. It really suits my style of playing instruments. The Riqq has so many dimensions to its sound.
It’s a wonderful instrument. Good luck with Riqq journey
Thank you for your videos! It's helps me a lot 😊
Thank you for watching and glad they have helped
Thankfully for this tutorial so appreciated. Hope you keep continuos. Take care and Blessing 🙏🏻 💗 😇
Glad you enjoyed it.
Marvelous and thank you very much for this tutorial. Hope you keep continuous. Take care and Blessing 💗 🙏🏻 💕
Wundervoll 👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you
I am having a tendon pop back and forth when my thumb isn't on the cymbal during the shaking part. I have small hands. Is there any way to stop it from hurting? Should I modify my riqq? Padding, gloves, foam?
Do what’s more comfortable for you. Two options, one could be to turn your thumb away from the fingers ( if your right handed turn it to the right ) or place it it on the cymbal. Try these then maybe add something as you said to stop the tendon, e.g blu tac. If that works then add some permanent padding. Sorry this is the first time I’ve heard this happening so please do let me know how you get on. Good luck
Thank you for the breakdown. Juicy!
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
Gorgeous and kickass at the same time!
Thank you
Cool stuff!
Thank you
