    This is the best djembe UA-cam I have found for myself. I am very, very, very beginner. Cannot learn three tones at once. Don;t care if it's an authentic West African drum. Most of these videos go tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast for me to learn from. So you experts out there... please have compassion for the rhythm challenged. And please make more videos that go slower in smaller steps.

      Hey Ted! Thanks for the nice words. I am actually planing to do a whole series on the djembe soon. I sometime see people who teach and they forget that to be a complete beginner means you have no clue. We as teachers need to be aware of that and that new learners need time to understand the lessons sometimes in small chunks. Thanks again and good luck!

    Hi. Is that a 12-inch Remo drum? How do you like the drum? do you recommend it? Cheers.

    good lessons but kept wondering why you use a savanna grass land as your background relating to west africa lol

    Are the tones the same on the left as the right? Could a lefty play but just switch the hands?

    I'm getting a weird echoey ringing sound, not that nice flat resonance. Is there any way to fix that? I have a Remo drum. It's driving me NUTS.

    Play Cajon What if you have a smaller djembe? Any tips on how to play that type of instrument? Thanks!

    • @playcajon

      Hey Dwayne! Same sort of technique but think of it as a more condensed approach. Tones would be hit more towards the tips of your fingers. Let me know if you have more questions. - Paul.

    hey, nice video, do the tips of the fingers touch the drum at all when you do the slap (when they rebounce)?

    That "slap" is actually a tone.
    And that annoying ring, ring, ring overtone is typical of fiberglass drums.

  • @damarsquesmoore4430
    @damarsquesmoore4430 7 років тому +9

    You shouldn't be teaching anyone how to play djembe. There are three basic tones. 1.bass 2.tone 3.slap and you are holding djembe incorrectly,it should be resting on the floor between your legs.

      @Margar02 5 років тому +2

      I thought the hole in the bottom of the drum is there to allow the sound to come out. It's muffled if you have it sitting on the ground??

      Thanks! No! it's real. I held it with my own hands. A collection of particles someone called the Djembe. There might be fake news in the world but you'll find no fake djembes here! :)

    That bass tone is terrible. There's no resonance. I'm not criticizing you playing. It's that bass tone. Terrible. And I just bought one of these.
