Am now a 71 yr old senior and have been playing the djembe for the last 8 years mostly off of these Multipercussion videos. Language is not a barrier as you just have learn the hand strokes and practice and play. These videos are definitely doable and a lot of fun!!
This guy has a great memory for grooves. I've been playing these rhythms for years and have introduced them to the basic beats that my drum circle plays.
If this video was redone .slowly. with more time spent at a slower tempo for each rhythm, then up to tempo, I would love it. I will keep looking for ones like that. I like the rhythms though!
Nice one! You know your stuff Albert... I had two Djembi's made for me in Dakar and they were fine while I was living there but didnt last long once I had taken them home to the UK... they are not fond of central heating! Both the wood and the skins split! I am about to purchase a fibre glass Djembi... I think they sound just as good.
Looks like most people do not have recorded own music with different microphones. o_O Im sry for you Mr multipercussion2010. AND thanks for sharing your knowledge and using your time helping us out!
Finally getting my djembe re-headed after my GF dropped a modem through it, took it promising to find someone to fix it, then broke up with me keeping the frame. Her new BF called me wanting to drop it off saying "she's being a real bitch about it isn't she?" Looking forward to getting these themselves down finally. Thank you so much!
Thankx a lot for this video. Im new to percussion but i love it so much!!! its a bit tought for me to follow but all get use to it :) Thank you for sharing :)
@oupoupadooo Hi, the rhythm you mentioned is the first Mix rhythm.I try to explain. B=bass, T=tone, S=slap, g=ghost (soft beat) BgBgSggSgTTTSSTT (Try to play first without ghostnotes) R R R L LRLRLRL When you play with ghostnotes you play RLRLRLRL etc. I hope this will help a little. Thanks!
What would be cool is a small app where you pick one pattern, easily restarting on slow or fast, with clear indicators of where the pattern repeats. clicking to 'roughly' the right spot interferes with the practice.
I went to the percussion store in my town ( Groningen, Netherlands ) to buy a djembé... they import a lot of drums, and when i opened the door and walked in, the owner just put a djembé in front of the rest. I immediately had a click with the drum, but it was way more expensive than what i wanted to spend So i tried about 12 other drums, but none of those were as beautiful as the one in front.Then i just tried to play it and fell in love. I figured i only buy my first drum one time so..... End.
@funktdrumshredder This is the complete list. Kuku, Kono, Raprhythm (patatje), Yankadi, Didadi, Rumba 1.1, Rumba 1.2, Mix1, Mix2, Mix3, Rumba 2.1, Rumba 2.2., The Gambia. (You can play the Rumba 1 rhythms together so you can play it with more djembeplayers. The same with the Mixrhythms and the Rumba 2 rhythms). Have fun :-)
Oh yeah, my drum was made by the owner of the shop, and was finished just about an hour. And he was not to keen on selling right away too, since he was very proud of it and rather wanted to show it to his customers. But hey, i was in love by then :D
I think "ghost notes" are some notes that are not played with the same energy, but they fill the rythm and make it more complete and nicer to hear. They are some beats between one "real" note and another, are not necessary to play the groove, but they sound great!! (They're quite difficult to use, I wish I could =/ )
All nice rhythms played well, but bear in mind that djembe accompaniments do not generally define the rhythm. What makes a rhythm one thing or another is usually the dunduns, and more often than not it is the sangban that holds the melody. By the way your Yankadi part is a common part (Mamdy Keita uses this as part 1 for Yankadi) but you play it as straight 4/4. Yankadi is always played heavily swung almost to 6/8 in Guinea (the rhythm comes from Boke area in NW Guinea Conakry)
Great video! Very helpful :) I notice that the rhythm "patatje" sounds kinda diferent when you play it faster... Sounds better though and the rhythm is the same! Why? Do you play another "tone"? When I play it faster it doesn't sound like yours. :( I'm a newbie to the djembe, I play it cause it's it really relaxes me and love the sound.
Nice lesson! I like that you don't speak and just play. But I was unable to get the 3rd rhythm after an hour of tries. it's when you accelerate and add additional rhythm in it. Could you do a lesson for this? Thx
@MrJAMckenna Hi. I try to explain the third rhythm, so B=bass, T=tone, S=slap G=ghost (soft beat) R=right hand L= left hand B g g T T g g B g B g S S g g g R l r L R l r L r L r L R l r l I hope you will understand the rhythm now. Thanks!!
Hello, this a really great video. Please, could you type the name of each rhythm? You talk about something like "Didari" and different kind of "Rumbas". Could you type this names, please? Thank you.

Brilliant! Just bought a Djembe and can practise these beats, whilst off from work.
Everyone will no doubt stay more than 2 metres away from me. 🤣🤣🤣
Paul Calling 😅😅😅
Thank you, I used this lesson for the shout out to all the health care workers tonight. Love and Peace...
I just got my first Djembe and this is really helping me out!
Just got my first Djembe yesterday...Can't stop playing it..I love kuku.
This guy has a great memory for grooves. I've been playing these rhythms for years and have introduced them to the basic beats that my drum circle plays.
Groovy. Learned rhythms. You taught this old dog some new tricks! Thanks!
If this video was redone .slowly. with more time spent at a slower tempo for each rhythm, then up to tempo, I would love it. I will keep looking for ones like that. I like the rhythms though!
YOU ARE THE BEST. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. JUST LISTEN, GET USED TO(MIMIC) IT AND PRACTICE. THAT IS IT!!!!!!!
Great collection of rhythms, cool way to present them, to be perfect needs to distinguish tones from slaps.
Nice one! You know your stuff Albert... I had two Djembi's made for me in Dakar and they were fine while I was living there but didnt last long once I had taken them home to the UK... they are not fond of central heating!

Hi. We are working on par two. We hope it will be ready in a few weeks
Thanks!!
We need more video like this one, really amazing! I learn more in 6:38 than in 5 days, thank you.
Blätter kommen von Blatt
I love playing along with these rhythms on my didgeridoo.
The sound on that djembe is really excellent
No low end at all.
Thankyou for your presentation. Some nice beats to learn.
Thanks from Czech Republic :-)
Looks like most people do not have recorded own music with different microphones. o_O Im sry for you Mr multipercussion2010. AND thanks for sharing your knowledge and using your time helping us out!

Pleeeeease do the complete "patatje" slowly, its sounds so amazing fast and i just can't get those ghost notes that youre playing, what a killer beat!

Yeah goat skin, my djembé is made of cherry wood. It sounds amazing, maybe i should post a vid soon, i just reskinned it .
Well-done instructional video, sir. Whoever is giving this "thumbs down" should request different medication from their psycho-analyst.
Beautiful. thank you very much.
awesome dude!!
lovely sounding drum
wow i was practicly danceing to this.im more of a rythem and air peson.they seem more easy for me to play
I was Trying to get the names of the different grooves....Might you have another video that explains what the names are?
@funktdrumshredder This is the complete list. Kuku, Kono, Raprhythm (patatje), Yankadi, Didadi, Rumba 1.1, Rumba 1.2, Mix1, Mix2, Mix3, Rumba 2.1, Rumba 2.2., The Gambia. (You can play the Rumba 1 rhythms together so you can play it with more djembeplayers. The same with the Mixrhythms and the Rumba 2 rhythms). Have fun :-)
Wow you have em all down pat ...
hi there, a great video for sure!
could you list the names of the rhythms in the order you play them please
Thanks
Sound teachin man. I love it.
close your eyes, play it slowly and speed up slowly, i found the vibe in like 10 minutes
Oh yeah, my drum was made by the owner of the shop, and was finished just about an hour. And he was not to keen on selling right away too, since he was very proud of it and rather wanted to show it to his customers. But hey, i was in love by then :D
muchas gracias!! Ritmos geniales =D

I am not a fan of ghost notes
nicely done sir !
I need to get a Djembe but not sure about how to select a decent one !
would you have any tips by any chance
thanks
Just what I need
wow this is great!!
Love that
Thanx for this vid. Brilliant!...xXx...
Hey I have the same problem like YaniQC
I can't play with that great rhythm. Please make tutorial that 3rd faster additional rhythm.
Thanks! That helped me a lot!
Great! Thanks!
mahony wood is very good. Take not the djembe's from Senegal. The sound of the djembe is personal. But you can always tune it
All nice rhythms played well, but bear in mind that djembe accompaniments do not generally define the rhythm. What makes a rhythm one thing or another is usually the dunduns, and more often than not it is the sangban that holds the melody.

Goooood man
Thank you guys
simple to the point thanks!

Maravilhoso....
@skew51 Hi, Yes i'm from Holland. I made this video for my students, but i't's so nice that so many people like this video. Thanks!!
ua-cam.com/video/guK0-2jIdco/v-deo.html
Wow, that 3rd one was 17 beats
tecnica de darbuka estas frito man!!!
can you play this rythms also in the congas.....
Hm... I don't know what ghost notes are :( I gotta check that out! Thank you, regards from Oporto,Portugal.
Hi
When I play it faster, i use some ghost notes between the rhythm
Thanks!!
hi jai
Practice this rhythm every day, you will see that it works!
Do you have a PDF book with Bass Tone Tone, etc... meaning with the notes. For a beginner, it gets confusing when you go too fast. 😁
Thank you so much for this video. do you also have a written pattern for this rhythms? it would be great
真的很好！
@Martinmurielphoto Hi. I think it's better to play it lefthanded. So changing the order of hands.
I've been studying African rhythms off and on for many many years and have NEVER seen that Kuku part your playing! Please tell me your source, thanks.
Im tryin to figure it out as well.
@MrJAMckenna Hi. I try to explain the third rhythm, so B=bass, T=tone, S=slap G=ghost (soft beat) R=right hand L= left hand
B g g T T g g B g B g S S g g g
R l r L R l r L r L r L R l r l
I hope you will understand the rhythm now. Thanks!!
D Luxe!!!
hi I am just wondering what kind of djembe you have or what is it that makes it sound so good, any information would be greatly appreciated :)
Omg I am Dutch and some of the names are dutch like 'patatje' it means french fries. And party een is version one or something like that.
Hello, this a really great video. Please, could you type the name of each rhythm? You talk about something like "Didari" and different kind of "Rumbas". Could you type this names, please? Thank you.
Excuse me, I'm lefthanded and I'm having a little trouble with it, should I play it the way you do or changing the order of hands?
nice video but can u make one much slower??
hello, from which tradition this rythm's made.. westafrica? thanx broth! nice work!
is he just adding ghost notes at 1:33? thanks.. anyone have the written version for the 3rd one? thank you!!
NaturalHealing yeah hes using tones when he hits the bass
