Your slaps and tones sound great on this. Very beautiful. I really did do a pretty good job too. I surprise myself sometimes. Loving the speech bubbles. They're a great way to add notes to the video.

Yes you really did , especially as I threw it at you out of the blue and you probably hadn't played it in over six months!

Tones sounded like dead slaps to me. But we are all different.

Great, I can tell it is more advanced, I seem to have missed the first three though.

Hi Jon very very well played. I can easily become your pupil unfortunately we are miles apart. Learning and fine tuning my Djembe slaps and tones with your videos. Please could you advise if there is a DVD available where you are teaching with the slaps and tones recited prior to playing like KuKu Ku KuKu Ku..Ka Kada etc..I am sometimes unable to follow without the recitals. Would like to buy your instructional DVDs. I love playing Djembe, still learning and also organise drum circles at Mental Health institutions for Substance Abuse related Occupational Therapy.

Hi Chanko. Actually I am currently working on a new website that will have all of the videos plus a whole bunch of new ones, along with written score for everything and hundreds of play-along audio files. I'm just finishing off the content and fine tuning it but initial plans are to have it as pay-to-download, something around £10 per month, then every month you get a whole bunch of content including a warm-up-slap-tone pattern or variation, two rudiments or solo techniques, at least 3 videos, audio files of a complete rhythm with each part presented at three play-along speeds, written score for everything and a written blog-style post explaining all my musings on that particular lesson. If it is successful it will allow me to create more and better quality content... I'll let you know when it is ready if you think that might interest you...

Chanko Mama Hi Chanko Mama! Just thought I'd let you know that my new online djembe learning website is now live at www.djembeweaver.com. Please share it as much as possible! If I get enough subscribers it will allow me to create great new content every month including professional quality videos and much more besides! Thanks for your continued support :)

Thanks for the solo, only the first phrase was familiar, other three are nice, like the handings and syncopation. More stuff to practice, I've transcribed some

Yes the first is the most well known, but the third one is also a classic Mendiani pattern that you come across different versions of. Transcribing is a good exercise, if only because it creates a richer memory trace...

The third pattern reminds me of Egyptian raqs sharqi the first time played through with the sangbani accompaniment so you can see where that pattern originated from going west to east across the continent.

Ameenah Long The first phrase is a classic so it wouldn't surprise me if it had history. You often hear similarities between Arabic music and West African music (ditto South American music) so I'm sure they share a common ancestry...

I grew up with Arabian and east indian music, and learned about west African music in high school. so its good to see this evolution :).

Ameenah Long Yes it's always interesting to hear the same rhythms turn up in music from completely different cultures. North African music is even closer to Arabic music and you can hear the evolution.

In the video I show 4 phrases. The first three are from one person and the 4th is from another. I thought I made that quite clear!

I thought you meant 3 other videos but I know little about music so excuse my ignorance.

This clip and instruction was poor. Literally no explanation/notation. How many bars, time signatures if you were following, polyrhythms etc You were concentrating very hard what were you following? Repetitions? Groupings? This I think was more a demonstration. But i am a fan man and i mean that. You are certainly playing with conviction and some tricky stuff. Might have a look at your teaching website!

This playing is quite stunted, stiff, and full of inaccuracies, still can't understand why instead of learning from traditional musicians we listen to Western poor imitators, am I the only one that feels the existence of the issue? Hope not.
