It's very nice but I can't learn without seeing the notes like T T T T Slap Slap.... on a video because my brain is getting confused very easily.

What kind of djembe and size?

[@drumlady123]

hey there! I don't have this djembe anymore, but I loved it for years. It was actually a 12 inch diameter goat skin djembe from Ghana. It was only 23.5 inches tall. And light as a feather. I miss it! I have many other beautiful light weight drums fyi - i sell them - i work with a partner in Ghana, who uses drumming and drum building as a tool for youth empowerment. the project is called Drumming Up From Poverty, it's located in Senya Beraku.

[@drumlady123]

@@amy4ta I have a drum boutique in Washington DC. I sell my drums one at a time to those who are in the market and reach out to me. I do not sell them online (yet), but rather I communicate with clients 1-to-1 using text or what's app. I send videos of myself, showcasing and demonstrating the drums I have for sale. The client then chooses, pays via multiple options (venmo, cash app, paypal, square, check, zelle), and I ship the drum via FedEx. If you would like to do this, you can reach me at 202-213-7810.

Other than tradition, why is it so important to retain the hand pattern? This rhythm is really close to caballo on conga. There has always been a dominant hand sequence that most people learn for traditional purposes. Lots of teachers say to use the coordination that feels most comfortable to you. Wouldn't it be more inclusive to let a person decide if that orchestration is right for them? On conga it makes a bit more sense because the bass tone usually comes from a drum positioned to one side. But on djembe, when your sounds come from the same drum, why does it matter so much?

[@drumlady123]

Such a great question. Here’s my personal answer. Using “rhythm logic” handing allows me to song while playing. It allows me to glide right into a solo without thinking. Because my hands are continuously alternating, the groove is never interrupted, and I can accompany myself.
