I've started to learn both the djembe and the bongos, because my end goal is to be able to play them at the same time. Right now I want to focus on keeping on beat and learning beginning beats. This, as well as a couple of other longer videos on basic beats have been helping out a lot
I've also been in a group, I'm using the Djembe as the primary percussion instrument. We also have a rain stick that helps with fills. It's difficult. I'm wondering in your experience if you had other drummers playing with you?
I just got myself a meinl djembe jr I know it’s small but I just wanted to get myself started on djembe and especially use it for recording, yours sounds absolutely amazing the bass sounds so crisp and low
Just what i.have been looking for. Havent played for 2 decades. Still have my djembe. My children have reached an age i can find time again to play. Cant wait.
@@DjembeMaster today i took my drum out 20years in its bag . The skin still perfect sounded great. Big bass. Managed first 2 beats. My youngest son wants to try. Looks like another drum needed for his birthday in May 🤞

@@popwarner8029 The word Dope comes from a natural substance that is created in the brain called “dopamine”. It can be created naturally or synthetically. I posted a source to you months ago but TH-cam deleted it. Please don’t ask me for a source because TH-cam will probably delete it again. You can research this on your own.
Great video. I am learning and all the other videos went too fast or used terms I did not understand. But yours start slowly and you explain clearly. Thanks. **It worked! I just learned a song with this!** 😁
I hear lots of small taps when you are playing faster. Is there some sort of metronome playing at the same time? I cant seem to replicate the consistent smaller taps during the drum patters.
I'm practicing and hopeful I will be able to master these rhythms. The I can get to the 3rd level of speed on the Straight Beat, but I can't do that last quick one. It's a bit difficult 😓
Thank you for sharing your techniques I have been getting a lot from your videos. I have the same Remo djembe, and was wondering which microphone clip you use on the drum in this video. I am using an SM57 so it looks like the same setup you have here. Thanks!
Hey, my videos all have links in the description and you can see 14" sizes there (the one I use). These links are probably easiest to use, since many music stores might not have a Remo in stock, let alone a 14-inch one. But if for some reason the links are not an option for you, try googling Remo 14" and find a local supplier or online store 😊
This might also work well (to have a sentence in your head) but I just “speak” rhythms with my hands. Drum set background, so these beats come quite naturally.
hey my friend. hope you are doing good?? i like your chanel very good. thanks for some supergood instructions. I just bought a new Djumbo Djembe 14" and there is a little round sticker in the inside of the skin. i wanted to ask you if its ok when i remove it or do i let it in there for the sound?? Never had a djembe since 20 years that im playing percussions...Maybe its because of the transport or its for the sound??? could you help me for this please?? wish you all the best. god bless you
Hey, thanks for your question 🙂 I would leave the sticker in. But if you want your drum to have more sustain (sound for "longer"), then remove the sticker - although know, that you probably cannot put the same sticker back.
Hey, basically 2 types of mics: dynamic (put it closer to the drum) and condenser (use it not so close). At the moment, I use a Shure dynamic mic (SM57, attached to the drum itself). But I’ve used a condenser mic also (as an extra mic for recording from 2 sources). If you want to record in as studio, you should also have a bass mic (bass drum microphone). Again, I use a Shure mic (Beta 52A), but there are very many different good ones out there in music shops and online. And finally, for studio recording - you need an interface (sound card) to plug all the microphones into - the only way to get the mic signal to your computer. Or if you want to use mics for live performance then plug in all your microphones directly into the mixer.
Very nice. Thanks. Nice beats that flow easily for me. They seem natural. Iv’e really never played the djembe much. Nice to do it “right” instead of just faking it. Ha ha.
I have a 15” head wooden djembe from Mali - very heavy, but great bass sound. The goat skin split as I had it very tight and it probably got too dry when not used. Should I replace the skin with a vellum or another goatskin. If I use vellum, does it go very pliable like goatskin?
I don't have much experience changing natural skins for djembes. I've had djembes with goat and calf skin - both have been great, the latter probably even more so. If you find someone local who changes/fixes/installes djembe skins - hopefully they can recommend a solution to your problem :)
@@DjembeMaster I've re-skinned a banjo with goat skin. When it's wet it is like chamois leather, so easy to work with. For the djembe, I need to get the right thickness as it's a larger drum. I now realise that the word vellum applies to animal skin. It doesn't apply to plastic drumheads, and I was only thinking of plastic in case it was more durable. But I guess it's not workable like skin - don't know. I would have thought calf skin was heavier and not so bright sounding, but that would make it more durable. I'm still thinking about goat vs calf, thanks for your comparison. I love your djembe backing for voice, much better than a full drum kit - more sensitive. I wish more home production singers had djembe sounds on their music software, or a pro session guy like yourself.
Hi thank you for the video, I have tried to u derstand what you changed form 2.18min comparing to the previous movements? I played it on 0.25speed and it sounds like there are 3 hits between right hand moving up and down but I can only see 2 left hand movements? How do you play it?
Hey! Until 2:42, it’s all the same - only the tempo changes to faster and faster. So only the same straight beat, 8 strokes. You can find the same beat in the video called “The Most Important Djembe Beat”.
Hi. I want to start playing djembe. I'm looking for synthetic (I don't really want to buy leather). Would you recommend a model for $ 150? For now, I'm practicing on a cardboard :) just for fun. Your videos are great!
Hey, thanks! I see that Toca makes djembes and a 12” one should fit your budget. And Gewa also has djembes in this price range. These I see being sold on a European site, tho.
Hey there, Great stuff..me pro drummer, traps for 35+ yrs, full time..my day gig. Could you just give clear notes so I can tune appropriately, cutting to the chase. Thank you I appreciate what you do much.
I am 6'5" and have very large hands. I find the 14" Djembe to be a little restrictive. Is it just my lack of experience, or am I right to be looking at a 16". I was considering a Remo Mondo. Also, my 14" Mondo has a little over spray texture from the side that is up on the drum head edge. Is this common? I find it annoying when my hand cross the rough texture.
It is very likely that a 16" djembe would suit you more! I've seen people with big hands trying to play djembe and many times they could use a bigger one. I personally love the edges of Remo djembes - it's comfortable to hold my palms on the edge (which is super important to my technique) so I feel where I am and also great to use this edge as another surface to do different sounding strokes! Edges of many djembes can be rough sometimes. With a Remo, make sure the edge is not loose - if it is, try super glue or if the skin is old, get a replacement. I think my 14" Remo djembe is rocking its 3rd skin.
Great video! I can do 1 and 2 but for 3 i can’t seem to memorize it, i can play it slow following the video but get lost if i try to do it without watching, i don’t comprehend it…
Apologies, I didn’t see a way to ask on the website. I’m interested in taking the beginner class but I don’t have a djembe, does that class have a recommendation on buying one? Size and so on?
Hey, no worries, here is fine :) It's good that you ask before rushing out and buying a djembe. Originally, the djembe has ropes and animal skin on top. The more modern djembe does not have ropes anymore and is key-tuned. I personally have loved the no-ropes and key-tuned version best! Just make sure it's at least 12 inches in diameter, I can even recommend a 14-inch. My favourite brand is Remo, but there are many others out there who create key-tuned djembes. And if you like the sound and look of a traditional djembe more (ropes, animal skin, thick wood shell) go for that :)
Ooh thank you!!! I see they are a little pricier than I’d hoped but I see the value in good tools affecting the quality of the experience so I’m going to ask hubs for the drum and beginner 1 class for a Christmas gift. I’m so excited your videos are inspiring I know the class will be awesome!!!
Really cool men! I got small wooden djembe like 15cm, unfortunately it sounds quite bad even when i play your rhytms. Could you recommend any basic djembe for beginners/ advanced. Budget is about 150-200$
Thanks! On a budget of 150-200 dollars, I would get a used Remo djembe from eBay (ebay.com). I guess the delivery times can be unreliable these days. If you don't want to wait, then get a key-tuned djembe from your local music store - the more expensive, the better!
I would recommend Afroton. They're quite popular in Germany. Produced in Ghana. They are decent and cost only 100-150€. Totally fine for beginners. Meinl also got some for under 250€
Hey there! I bought a Meinl Alpine 10 inch djembe, that thing is a great value! It’s $100 and really outshines a lot of my friends drums (after a bit of practice on my end!)
I would like to take your course but I have no intention of allowing notifications, which is required to see your website. Any other way to see what you have to offer?
Hey! This morning I discovered a security issue on the site and immediately took action. The site is up and running again and a cyber security company is doing a full scan and applying protection measures. As of now, the site should not be requesting any notifications to allow. Sorry for the trouble!
How do you select a djembe? I’m interested in learning and the first step is buying one for the purpose (drum circle/soccer matches) and I need some selections LP or Meinl and the size.
Remo is a good brand and the 14 inch model mondo is a great general use and can be tuned easily the 12 inch is more portable because the 14 and 16 are slightly larger
Tutto ok ma il basso, secondo me ci dovrebbe essere sempre, o quasi sempre, nell'insieme. Anche alzando un pochino la o le, Percussioni e lasciando quel poco spazio per fare uscire magari un po' d'aria... Per fare sentire un poco poco il basso. Comunque un bel vedere...! Tutto il tuo e invidiabile, ricco! Percussionismo. Grazie. Anch'io suono Percussioni varie tra le quali le Toca Toca.
Funny how your three most important beats are different from mine. but yet I grew up with this beats and now I'm looking for new one cause there getting old and I'm stuck with them
If you are just starting, it is actually very beneficial to learn beats for your non-dominant hand. You can easily switch what you learned to your dominant hand, and end up versatile to perform on both.
I've started to learn both the djembe and the bongos, because my end goal is to be able to play them at the same time. Right now I want to focus on keeping on beat and learning beginning beats. This, as well as a couple of other longer videos on basic beats have been helping out a lot
I stopped playing my djembe 4 years ago. Watching this video is inspiring me to play again and keep to it
Thank you for sharing! Reading this, thinking the morning couldn’t possibly get better… and boom! ☺️
I have been playing kit drums for over 60 years, just started to Djembe six months ago and I’m having a blast. Thank you for your help.
That’s amazing! Glad your having a blast 😁😁
played the djembe in a group until I was 14 and now 5 years later your videos really helped me get back into it, thank you!
Super amazing? I'm glad this is of help. Much love! 👑
I've also been in a group, I'm using the Djembe as the primary percussion instrument. We also have a rain stick that helps with fills. It's difficult. I'm wondering in your experience if you had other drummers playing with you?

Thanks for sharing. I think it might be time to pick up the Djembe I bought during the Pandemic.
That sounds like an awesome plan ;)
Great video. I am learning and all the other videos went too fast or used terms I did not understand. But yours start slowly and you explain clearly. Thanks. **It worked! I just learned a song with this!** 😁
The 3/3/2 is called the malfuf
Also known as Tresillo.
It is the most universal rhythm structure, it doesn’t need to have specific name because it’s present in almost all music traditions.
A rose would smell as sweet by any other name
@@SamHolmstock No, tresillo is the same as triplet. That's not triplets, that's 16th notes
@@depenz nice quote
The tuning/sound you have is awesome!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video ❤
I hear lots of small taps when you are playing faster. Is there some sort of metronome playing at the same time? I cant seem to replicate the consistent smaller taps during the drum patters.
Must be ghost notes 🤫 with fingers. No separate metronome track. Or it could be some subtle sound that the song itself has 🤔
I'm practicing and hopeful I will be able to master these rhythms. The I can get to the 3rd level of speed on the Straight Beat, but I can't do that last quick one. It's a bit difficult 😓
Keep at it 🙂 With practice, time will make it work.
Excellent video. Useful and concise!

I am getting my Djembe by next week, your lessons are simple and interesting , I am a Mridangam player too , excited to learn from your videos
Woohoo! 🥁
Thankyou this was the lesson that triggered my wanting to learn djembe. I appreciate you. All My Gratitudes. 🙏
Glad to hear ☺️
Hi can you suggest where we can get this size of Djembe drum please? The way you play is just so amazing.. ❤️
Hey, my videos all have links in the description and you can see 14" sizes there (the one I use). These links are probably easiest to use, since many music stores might not have a Remo in stock, let alone a 14-inch one.

3/3/2 is Arabian clave and last one is Son Clave
Just what I have been looking for,,, thanks allot man 😇
Woohoo! My pleasure 😎
Are they all slaps, other than the bass of course. Just quiet ones and larger ones?
Yupp ✅
How do I differentiate between ternary and binary form djembe drum rhythms
I don’t.
Easy to learn and sound very cool !!! Thanks !!!
Pleasure 🫡
I wonder how do you remember long beats like the last one, do you have some sentence in head that similar pronounciation?
This might also work well (to have a sentence in your head) but I just “speak” rhythms with my hands. Drum set background, so these beats come quite naturally.
Do you need to have a specific type of Djembe to make that kinda sound?
The one I play is a Remo Mondo djembe (14-inch). It’s pretty specific in sounds, so yes if you want similar sound 🙂
Great lesson, good basics...
Any suggestions on a setting for my metronome app for the 3 3 2? 1/4, 3/4 doesn’t seem to fit
1/4 or 2/4 or 4/4 should work... hmmm
I cant follow the third beat. Once I get ahold of it you go faster and I can’t keep up
Alrighty, I’ll make a video about that 3rd beat in a few weeks 😎
Practice, my friend!

SM57 on top, but also a bass drum mic at the bottom - used to be an AKG mic, now the Shure Beta 52A. Cheers!

@@Anne-FromQc Yes, I've seen this fenomen also sometimes. You never know ;)

If you are just starting, it is actually very beneficial to learn beats for your non-dominant hand. You can easily switch what you learned to your dominant hand, and end up versatile to perform on both.

Do the Rhythm fast and then slow. You want to let people know what the Rhythm actually sounds like and then break it down.
Point taken ☝🏼 And you are correct, Sir 😎
I like how the pattern starts off slow and appears quite simple, but then develops into an interesting complex sound.
What is this drum you are using??
It's a 14-inch Remo djembe.

@@tarabalts6069 The design of the 14" djembe I play is called Kente Cloth.

From the 7 minute mark, you are just showing off. Nevertheless, I still like your videos and teachings.

1, 2, 3, 3... I thought that was SIA
Funny, you play the bass only with your right hand, as if you're playing a darbuka
Indeed 🙂
Can you please go a little slower..it's a request. .so that I can follow the beats 🙌
TH-cam has a function you can slow playback :)
