One of the best ones yet. Our group plans on learning it. Thanks.

Rule No.1 : No Ornaments Just Kidding, Brilliant as usual😍

Thanks alot. I'm taking a class but was behind. Its funny I slowed the video down and it made you sound drunk. Ha

Very clear instructions. Also, your audio is steady and understandable. Some other sites have poor audio quality.

Very cool rythm. Mr. Kalani... I'm learning a lot. Like. Me as starter.. 👍👍👍. Thank u sir

Ive seen many others but they don't make it fun, easy and clear like this guy.

APA TI---- Best Djembe,

Wow, that cleared up a lot for me. Super clear instruction and zen presentation. Thank you.

Just a small suggestion if you could write down the pattern of the drum in the form of BTS

Thank u so much

Fantastic!

Lovely!

Great practice

Thank you for sharing this beautiful instrument and what it can do. Always drawn to the beats and I didn’t know where it originated . I’m still not sure actually because its found in ancient Africa as well as North America. All I know is I grabbed a cake pan and discovered I’m a natural at it..

Super bon merci

Fun practice to try and play left handed base and also right handed

It's helpful to watch these videos after buying a djembe from a friend of yours, Jeff Holland.

Nice

Remote learning gang where you at?

Kalani, Great Videos here! I have an “opinion” question about slaps. Sometimes I use a conga slap instead of the traditional djembe slap. It has at least in my experience a much sharper effect. Do you feel I should stick to djembe slaps?

Awesome groove brother. Hey do you have a breakdown/tutorial for the additional drum-roll/flourish here? 7:51 Thank you!!!

Love this lesson n rhythm! Is there a particular reason you’re playing bass w ur left hand during second rhythm? In the first rhythm you start w right. I was thinking from other vids that you are right-handed(?) Just wondering if there’s a particular reason for switching the starting hand. Thank you so much for sharing these!

2:25 rythm one 4:36 rythm two

Resonance...

Good instructions . Recommend

Mantap

Sir My name is Arun Balaji contacting you from Chennai Tamilnadu India Iam a percussionist and i want to learn Djembe Can you suggest me the right place to buy the instrument

TIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Great drumming! please take off your ring and set a good example for everyone else!

I thought playing a hand drum while wearing a ring is a "no-no" because you can damage the drum or flatten the ring.

3 3 uh uh 4 4 got it 👍

What time signature is this in?

I just realized 😳 that I played this rythm wrong. The handsetting en tones were ok but the rythm I played wrong...

I loved the video but could you speak a bit louder?

There are some additional accompaniments that are not demonstrated here I suggest that you do some more research and update this video to avoid confusion. With all due respect these traditional African rhythms have been preserved and passed down for centuries its important not to distort them especially if you decide to teach.

Playing with a ring on maybe not the best tip my friend.....!!!

mouaih pas terrible.. toi même n'a pas l'air au point avec ta technique de frappes, tes roulements sont très moyens (ceux de la fin sonnent particulièrement mauvais)... et sur Yankadi, même pour débuter, y'a bien mieux à travailler..(signé : un joueur qui a appris à jouer le djembé et le dunun kassunké en cours et dans des mariages à Bamako et à la recherche de phrases potentiellement intéressantes sur KZfaq). Y'a une bien meilleure vidéo d'initiation à Yankadi par Raphael Hofmann, un belge, qui à largement le niveau d'un maître djembefola.
