Do all djembe’s take their own amount of rope to be tuned? For say if they were all at the same pitch would they have different amounts of rope used in tuning?
Thanks for the video. I was given an older drum. It's pretty tired and has lots of diamonds in it. I've put several more in over the course of a few months, but with not a lot of noticeable change in sound. Most notably, slaps are difficult to produce on this drum. Is there just an upper ceiling to how much good tuning up a drum can do? I don't want to over-do it. Thanks again.
Hi Ty. Kind of depends on the and the condition og the skin and cord etc.Could be several reasons why its not tuning up. (Skin might be torn under the rings or be slipping if the hoops are too big) Without seeing the drum its hard to comment further. However if the skin is more than a few years old its probably ready for a re-skin. Hope thats helpful Send me a pic if you want more advice cheers. Simon
I like how you tuned the drum White man. Don’t forget that drum is a symbolism of African culture and the African diaspora fist. I don’t like white people taking credit for our drums so just know that’s not your culture your practicing. ITS OURS
He's just showing people how to tune an instrument that happens to be from a certain culture. There's nothing wrong with that. As mucha s it's good to acknowledge that it's from africa, It's not totally required to make a video on how to tune it.
After 10 years I can finally tune my own djembe.Thanks!!
Straight to the point and easy to follow!
Thank you for such a clear and visual explanation of how to tune these beautiful instruments.
Great video. Thank you. How do I get a tightening rope started if I don’t have all that extra cord already on it?
Hey! Thanks! Very useful!

The guy has a name not just a skin color.
I don't like Africans using computers or the English language. They're OURS.
Lighten up man, he's just showing people how to tune it. All people came from Africa originally anyway
