How to easily funk up djembe rhythms by adding a few bass notes

If you haven't already, watch my other video 'one of the most important traditional patterns to learn'. This is an extension of that rhythm - not traditional, just some ideas of how you can use it to improvise.

Thanks for your passport rhythm lesson! Great teaching. Have you ever played the Malian Sandia rhythm? The pattern is back to front with the tone beat on the pulse instead of the slap. When I teach my students it’s fun seeing to see the mischief and fun and games Sandia creates! 😂

Give me some credentials who did you study with? No disrespect you can certainly play just curious at least in the intro you should give your credentials just a thought.

Thanks @howardunderwood1572. Ah yes, because a woman can't just be a good djembe player, there must surely be some men responsible! You can find out more about me on my website: www.drummergirl.com.au/drummergirl

There are excellent women djembe players and not all women drummers learn from men, but most of the grand masters and masters I have seen have been men you are a very skilled drummer, and very impressive credentials much continued success 👍🏾🪘🪘🪘peace.
