I took a class with M'Bemba once, he's an amazing drummer, and such a nice guy!

[@temitopefaleti7053]

Lucky you :)

[@tkwandrew]

So good

[@tchallabangoura7606]

Yea he gave me a few pointers on “tonpolo” slap variant and I’ve been better for it ever since.

He was moving his hands so fast!! This sounds awesome

[@Earthling_151]

Just one of the things djembe drummers use easily

[@argonwheatbelly637]

The drum speaks. He gives it a voice. This is beautiful!

[@whalenhausch-vg6cr]

Respect Uncle..am student drummer from Somalia.. your Biggest Fan .. Congrats

[@Toniba75]

Drumming is all about technique. Simple. Technique is the foundation. Everything comes later, all improvisation , melody ect. Therefore any master showcases his skill first with his technique, and then with his own melody and improvisation. Every drumming style is different and therefore demands different technique, to say one is better or superior is childish. Respect that all instruments take a particular technique to master and the sound produced reflects the instrument and the player.

[@temitopefaleti7053]

Well said

[@paultrussy4243]

All true but also because in all likelihood he will have been paying from childhood

[@MyKingjames3]

Very well said Toniba75. As a spiritual Brother I pray that the Latino players read this. For they all play alike, with speed instead of groove. Not to talk against it, because it's a beautiful thing to watch and admire. But I prefer groove over what they do....Just saying my opinion as a "grown man." Blessings all hand drummers!

[@76boromir]

Man what a drummer!! Awesome djembefola! He has sooo sharp,brilliant, crisp, crunchy sounds. Very nice.

[@Endymion766]

i'm not a drum expert but i remember reading on wikipedia that the djembe has like 25 sounds but that even the experts mostly just use the 3 regular ones, so that's interesting

[@kishascape]

No it doesn’t

[@seacreacherdiet]

this is the wickedest drums of all time

[@KeizerHedorah]

I enjoy the sounds of the djembe.

[@tallcat55]

I'm appreciating the Masterful distinct difference between his tone and slap ....

[@markpaycer6908]

I have been playing for years and some people play the slap a little different with hands angled closer to drum. My tones are with more hands than a slap with more of the fingers, its finding that balance but giving it there distinction.

[@djembesitaram6504]

Very interesting sólo, powerfull, inspirativ, Joy.

[@grosswisier]

It's awesome. Very good Music...

[@chamberofrelics]

Djembe is great with M'bembe. I must learn to play M'bembe

[@Outdoorfamily.]

I love it!!!!

[@susiemuirhead6579]

If you get a chance to do a workshop with M’Bemba by all means do it. You will be amazed at his musicianship!

[@747t]

It's like beatboxing, not speech. The "verbal counterparts" are not actually words but in fact mimic the sound of the drum itself. The West African rhythms though actually mimic speech. Africans used their rhythms to communicate messages across empires in Africa the size of the United States. They also used them during colonial times to orchestrate rebellions, which is why they were banned in the U.S. during slavery.

[@jackit85]

woooow,,its amazing!!

[@bluebanana61]

i like the sound of your djembe. im looking to buy one myself, but dont know what to look for. what difference in sound would a 10" djembe have to say a 7" or 12"? also fiberglass or wood? are larger drums harder to play ? i am a beginner

[@ianprescott7924]

bluebanana61 Hi. I was also unsure what to go with before I bought my djembe a month ago. I'd say larger drums are easier to play before you have more room to be creative, unless you're looking for something you can carry around. Wooden djembe have a very authentic, natural feel and sound to them while fiberglass have a more modern, Latin American feel and sound. It's all about preference and personality, really. If you want to be able to go crazy on a djembe, I'd invest in a larger size one. I personally have a 10" NINO Percussions djembe and I love it. Regardless, all djembe are wonderful instruments to learn and be able to really pour your spirit into it. :)

[@Discrimination_is_not_a_right]

In Brasil we've got a lot of those, the majority is called "macumba"

[@whispertangle4136]

Any body elsewatching this for school?

[@fyabun]

Drums around Africa reflect the language and human speech of their region. That is why Senegalese talking drums sound different to Nigerian ones. They tell the dancer how to move, when to change step etc. You need to talk to true Indian scholars who would tell you of "indigenous" people of India (Africans) & the roots of "Aryan" Indian music. Ethiopia's territories spread right into India. Where does the name Ganges come from and why is it Holy? If you think unconnected, you havent arrived.

@KillinDaWelfareMCs African rhythms mirror the patterns of human speech and bodily movement. They capture the essence of life and communication in sound. If you don't find that inspiring then I'm afraid its you that has the problem.
