I'm new to Djembe, started about a year ago but classes disrupted a lot due to Covid; we just went back November but at present they're cancelled again! I've been trying to keep practicing since I got my own drum for Xmas and so pleased to have found your classes today, especially the last video saying about not needing to put your full hand on the base,, as my drum is a small one and that made it so much easier, and stopped me getting the dull base sound I had before 🤗

Here’s the notation/tab for both of these rhythms. Rhythm 1, in 4/4 time that is counted as 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + : Da - - da da - bo bo. Or using S for slap and T for tone: S - - S S - T T. Hand pattern is: R - - L R - R L. Rhythm 2, in 4/4 time that is counted as 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + : Dum - Go Go - - Pa - . Or using B for Bass, S for slap and T for tone: B - T T - - S -. Hand pattern is: R - R L - - R -.

Very good to follow and includes different channels of learning (hearing words, singing sounds, clapping rhythms). Thank you!

Hey there Djembe fam! I just found you guys and subscribed. I'm watching while I wait for my first Djembe arrives. One of my very first indications that I had crossed the veil to enlightenment in 2018 was this distinct sound vibrating through me and I instantly grabbed a stool and began drumming like it was in my DNA . I already somehow knew exactly how to position my hands and the basic beats and rhythms instinctively. My world has been spinning every since and it's only now 2023 that I'm in a place where I can explore this further. I've always thought about how we just don't know how many Beethoven's there have been that just never sat at a piano. I can't wait to get my hands on that drum. I hope to be a part of this community and share my progress. Maybe one day have a live jam session. I see big things happening everywhere and music, sound, rhythm, vibration, geometry, breath, movement and color is where it all begins. This much I know. 🙏🌟🙃

WORLD DRUM CLUB I am a slow learner. I have watched each part of each rhythm many, many times. But I am learning, and love it. Two ideas: 1. have an overhead camera. That is easier, especially if a person is slightly dyslexic. 2. after teaching the rhythm, have the metronome going with some music so that we can practice over and over again.

The second rithm (7:30) is usually played with alternated hands. Actually, one use the regular handings only if one wants to add extra strokes to make variations. As shown: RLRR. In order to balance the load between hands, the logic wants to leave the two consecutive tones as is i.e. right then left. Then, the slap must therefore stay on the right hand. Conclusion : in order to alternate, just do the bass with the left hand. This pattern has many advantages. 1/ do the slap with the strong hand. 2/ allow for on-the-fly change from alternate to regular handings, just by changing which hand does the. Bass

Thanks Kalani, I really enjoyed your video. I managed to get the two rhythms and feel like getting a Djembe again so I could practice and learn even more rhythms. So what I am trying to say is that I did get a lot out of your video, maybe if I get a drum I could become a patron as well. However the neighbours are always a problem unless you put a towel over the drum I guess. Anyway, thanks a lot. Peace and love.

@seanglaze7284 11 ай бұрын

Interesting how the slightly off way of playing the second rhythm is almost identical to "El Dem-Bow", ubiquitous in Regaeton. Although in Regaeton it's essentially bass--- slap- bass-- slap--. And the slap is usually a cymbal, commonly a synth cymbal (and bass is usually e-drum too)

Using a metronome is really foreign to me. If I think too much about whether my notes are on or off the pulse I loose the rhythm altogether. About as far as I can get is keeping my first note on the pulse (if its on the pulse). Any advice about the use of metronomes?

Hi! This is a great video. These djembe rhythms are really helpful for learning fundamental skills. I want to make sure that everyone who watches this video can understand this video, even though the use of captions, so I thought I would give you a heads up about your captions. I know these mistakes are not your fault, but the captions are often wrong whenever you say the word "djembe." For example, it reads "Jimmy," "gym baby," and "generate." At one point the captions also say "drop the baby momma" which is a little frightening. I thought I'd just let you know so others can use the captions! Great video!

The second rhythm is called Kuku, and it is the 1st accompaniment part for Kuku. It is also used as a 2nd accompaniment part with many other rhytms. I personally always used my Left hand in the Bass and alternate my hands equally for this djembe accompaniment part, and I am right handed. Happy drumming.
