Call & Response Exercise

A call and response exercise from my website where I start off simple and get progressively harder. I try to throw in all of the most important techniques and rudiments, rolls and sliding techniques and so on. Don't worry if you can't copy back exactly what I play...just use it to bounce off and have fun ;)

Highly lyrical. A master workshop on tasteful soloing. He never loses sight of the melody. Its often tricky for many beginners to figure out what exactly fits with what. This a textbook, that needs to be studied repeatedly unless one is highly gifted.

This is awesome. Not a word spoken but perfectly understandable. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this video. I do call and response exercises with my students all the time but I have no one to lead me in a similar exercise. This was so much fun thank you. And it’s been really interesting to see new students over the years be able to do longer and longer call and response patterns. Similar to vocal warm-ups for singers, I think these basic djembe drills to help strengthen listening and technique skills is vital!

[@juanfdezgcia]

Hi djembeweaver, thanks for your uploads, I was wondering whether you are still active as your last videos and posts (in your blog) date back to 2015...thanks

[@treesandgeeking]

Nope, he has forsaken Djembe for Jazz trumpet (no joke)
