We wanna show you some good patterns there are for beginners, for the djembe drums, from West Africa.
For me, my favorite one is to play 3 tones and 5 slaps, but instead of playing them straight I’m gonna swing the rhythm and this is gonna help me learn the feeling of the West Africa music as well as change my technique from the tone to the slap. I play 3 tones, then I play 5 slaps. Tone, slap. An then I put it together and I let it breath. Helps me keep time and helps me feel the swing of the West Africa music. When I’m comfortable I can go faster. I can play faster. Even faster. That’s my favorite hand pattern.
So my, I have a different one, different idea. How to help you very begging, how to do the thing you get it. So my, I can start with the tone, then I can go the slap, then I can go to bass. So if I do all that together, I can do, then I go to slap, then one bass. If I want to go slow, if a want to go a little more faster I can go. If I want to go fast. This is it, djembe power for the beginners.

thank you for the great video!
Dejis dada
thank you
Can’t hear the great bass sound from a djembi that size. I know this is an old post but does anyone know where I can order a large solid hard wood djembi safely?
Michael Markus was my first djembe teacher; M’bemba Bangoura was my third! My first two trips to Guinea in the late 90s was with these two! These two are two of the greatest resources of djembe knowledge and playing mastery anywhere in the world!!
Awesome drumming skills needs to join my band
