[@annadouglas7961]

Perfect timing, thank you for this video! And...THANK YOU Jamie from work for telling me to watch this video. Honestly, I just can't believe the timing. Sorry for going on and on here - but I just have to share. So yesterday I'm at work, a bit exhausted. Well, to be 100% direct, I'm overwhelmed. I need time off and told my friend Jamie I'm going to. So she asks what I'm going to do? She suggested golfing and I almost spit the water I was drinking out of my mouth. Thankfully it didn't come to that ; ) I told her I need to start something easy and fun and thought to play and sing more music. So she told me about this channel - and it's given me new ideas. I'm going to start practicing piano soon too. AND...if all goes well...I'm going to bring my friends together and who knows, maybe even start a weekend band. Thank you Jamie. Thank you for creating this video and thank you universe for Jamie finding out about it too. Alright, bye for now - and big hugs to my new music friends : )

Nice to meet you. I am Japanese. 🇯🇵🗻🗼🏯🌸 I love djembe and will be attending djembe classes from April. Does a djembe need a lot of force to produce a high pitched sound? I'm a woman, so why not? I thought. Most instruments produce good sounds when they are relaxed. Can you tell me what I need to do to be able to hit it well quickly? Thank you.
