Great teacher thank you. Never even played a drum before but love drum music and was randomly given a djembe drum for Christmas. Finding it easy to follow with your great instructions and rhythm. Thank you
In the second Macrou you seem to demonstrate the 2 tones using Left then right hand then after adding in the slaps you change from Right to left. I am confused.
Where are the dancers? I believe my feet are more dominant than my hands! I missed your demos and appreciate the time you've taken to give us the best always! Thanks again!👏 A dance arrangement in the book?
Hi colany, you may remember me Don Celestino nd my partner Gayle when we attended your flute retreat a fe w years ago… we are living in Laguna woods having moved here recently. I’m looking for resources such as djembe repairs and maintenance…..and could use some local contacts if you have any. Trusting all is well and looking forward to hearing from you,,,
yes ! it was kinda easy, but a little tricky, just enough to learn and have fun ! the last one is hard to keep long time ! Thanks a lot. we have the musical activity for my right of access ;)
It is so strange - I am trying to learn dun dun and the left hand keeps the main beat... For some reason, I find with this piece that I have to use my left hand to keep the beat. I'm not sure if it is because of the dundun practice lol
I am having difficulty transcribing part 2, though I can play it listening. I have the book but it's not transcribed with the X and O system. Is there anyplace this is written out. I have the CD but have not had a chance to listen yet.

Hi Mr. Kalani. I have a question. Rhythm Macrou no. 2. hand rotation - 1234 1234 1234 1234 B..S .TT. B.S. .TT. RLRL RLRL RLRL RLRL R..L .LR. R.R. .LR. It should be played there twice with the left hand in a row? Do not constantly rotate your hands throughout the rhythm. Or do you play a different rhythm Macrou? I know the rhythm Macrou B..S .TT. B.S. .TT. Thank you for your lessons 1* Have a nice day. miky

Great instruction! I love learning new Djembe beats and rythms!
Also love the Dr. Beat! Reminds me of High School Drum Line!
Sounds like puertorican plena
Actually the first rythm he played is exactly the holandé rhythm of bomba.

Nice neat video - clear and concisely explained

Hi sir. The first pattern you played is exactly the holandé rhythm from the Puerto Rico bomba. That's cool.
Thanks for the comment and info.
Amazing thank you 🙏

Can you also explain beat number 2 like you did for number 3. I can't get it. Thank you
Wow this is such an awesome djembe drumming lesson I love it.😃👍

Generally, we don’t alternate the lead hand for patterns. Thank you for the question.
Play mario brothers on djembe it'll get views!!!
Simple yet fantastic. Basic drum rhythms can be so relaxing. The primitive beats go back most to the dawn of 👨man
thank you. love the third beat!
Very nice rythym !! thank you !!
There's always a slap in the end....
who else has to do this for school
me and macrou came to party!
Good video class!
Can I have a link to your book please.
West African Drum & Dance (Alfred publishing). It’s easy to find.
Awesome
