In no way is this performance to represent authentic or recommended Djembe playing style as perceived by any traditional Djembe teacher, practitioner, drumming body or maker. This is purely a personal exploration and interpretation of the tonal and rhythmic possibilities of the reinvented fibreglass Djembe, specifically looking at the adaptation of western drum set rhythms onto a single membrane ethnic instrument.

It has been 6 years since i discovered this video, i watch it times to times but the more i watch the more i like it. I've never played an instrument in my life but because of this video, i'm sure to play one some day.

[@GATELESSNESS]

Man i have to say you groove, i celebrate the way your soundscape plays to my ear. All phrase to traditions who are the keepers and vessels of the groove, though for those who whine of not being traditional are merely stuck in a box with wax clogging their ears.....long live the groove, well done!

[@Theonewhoclimbs28]

It's amazing hearing some of the sounds I've heard on previous djembe recordings and connecting them to the hand motions that create them.

[@dgrren]

Nice solo man! Great mixture of different techniques and tones! The best part about your solo is that you are into it and feeling it... which is the only way to play music!

[@bjkwolf9578]

You inspire me to continue my djimbe journey. .. Beautiful work. Many may not of understood your sliding technique. .. but I loved it.. I was JUST speaking to another much better drummer than myself (whose been mentoring me) and told him how I wish I could incorporate sliding ....guess now I can xD Bravo my Djimbe brother... your earned yourself a sub!

[@moxshyfter]

Very cool grooves man! It's neat seeing how you can make so many sounds with just one instrument.

[@jonathanortiz6310]

everybody has their own voice in music, much respect bro. very nice.

[@Kiwi_DeFruit]

Such an emotion and sense of rhythm is something worth of everyone's respect.

[@turbochickenstudios]

Wow, 1M views. Thanks!

[@justletmesee20]

Great work. Any advice for a beginner?

[@turbochickenstudios]

Work on the fundamental tones? Browse my videos. All the best.

[@davsbeats4954]

Which firm this microphone??

[@jasperhendrix2943]

Sure (sm58?)

[@M3ntalbug]

Very inspiring man! I liked how creative you were with the sounds themselves and the groovy rythm. Keep it up! =)

[@actrealationalist]

This is so creative and groovy that I keep coming back to it.

[@fiddlestix3025]

Beau-ti-ful….! All these sounds and intricate rhythms…! Absolutely love this 💛

[@coryburrill]

Much respect! You're an amazing musician and have inspired me to pick up a djembe of my own!

[@Decentralized_Maze]

Cory Burrill. So how's the drumming coming? ;)

[@tstazzers]

Beautiful, natural, pure percussion - he is amazingly talented.

This is wonderful, so much colour, and a human vocal quality to the sounds.

[@turbochickenstudios]

Thanks Jon, means a lot coming from you. I visited your channel, love your work on the guitar.

Pure genius! Intro reminded me of the sound fx in Mushishi, then BAM! Into the hip hop groove👍

[@LasseJulius]

Wow, really great! So soft and dynamic, and many flavours! Great Work!

[@Ticijaa]

This is so beautiful. Such a great talent. I always wanted to play djembe and now you motivated me even more to continue that journey. Thank you

[@BoxPossum96]

I keep coming back to this vid, the whole piece is just super tight.

[@EnesDoe]

Stunning rhythms there, mate! Very inspirational! Thank you!

[@Jeffaqui]

Im sold on getting a djembe now holy shit man. Mad entertaining

[@mournlight]

I enjoy artists who are willing to be themselves, and often I then find that they are "self-taught." They didn't go to a school to learn to create their art just like everyone else, or to write a best-selling book because it fits the mold of what is currently selling well. Thank you for being unique, and for sharing your own interpretation of how this drum speaks to you. I hope you will keep having those conversations with this drum and letting the rest of us eavesdrop.

[@ShamanaMetaphysica]

love it brother, you have a strong connection with the instrument... amazing sounds , thank you !

[@xndr1105]

that was incredible, thank you for posting

[@pinup_charmer3348]

[@Lawgivaah]

This is great for listening to with your eyes closed. I can really dig into your work man!

[@alexanderkomov2951]

That totally expands my scope of percussion knowledge quite a lot

[@geekyourlikeslulu]

such a creativity! thanks for sharing!

[@onetrueslave]

Shawn brings a kind of 'sexy zen' to his percussive art. I love that.

[@gobletdrumledsystem3596]

At the beginning it reminded me of a gentle beach tide rolling in and out. A nice build up to a warm, enveloping rhythm. Cool.

[@neopentane6138]

I like your passion with dynamic percussion ! Beautiful !

[@aramislucas3281]

I didn't know a single drum could sound like that

[@Marco-sj4vo]

For me the whole video is awesome. The intro? It's ASMR! hahahah

[@jeremywendelin]

marcosins agree he should do an ASMR video 😂😂😂

[@AnonymousCowardX]

Great dude!! I will learn from that. I ordered my first Djembe yestersay, yay!

[@LithiumThiefMusic]

SHREDDING ON THE DJEMBE! I'm so inspired

[@Kujhen]

Thanks SO much!! I've seen many people play on this exact type of Djembe and I could never find out what it was called, you have inspired me to get a Djembe and learn how to play. I can only hope to be as good as you one day.

[@RobLovesHotMoms]

5 years later. Are you a master Djembe player yet?

[@peanutrolls]

Dude, that's groovy. Love it! (There's more skill there than I could readily appreciate. But I was swaying in my chair at one point)

[@ashutp2111]

Incredible! Just wow! Ultimate sound quality

[@Ana-zm3td]

So psychedelic... Thanks man You are truly talented 😉

[@awasogt]

the dish washer Technic...or may be the wax in wax out? and the UFC elbow? amazing!!!! marvelous!!!!

THIS is absolutely beautiful. You are showing us all the many voices that can come from one drum. Never stop being creative. ALWAYS keep finding new ways. ALWAYS.

Most excellent. I enjoy kickin it on my djembe for peace of mind. Love the vibe.

[@notromanramirez]

The intro is so ASMR... :D

[@Obstropolous]

1:45 , bless you for listening.

[@matteocasadei756]

bravissimo 😊 Amazing, i feel more energy after your music, this is real music :) thank you

[@harry8175ritchie]

this is beautiful man! love it!

[@turbochickenstudios]

Hey, I work better with smaller drums because they tend to have less uncontrollable overtones. However they might be tricky for larger hands. I'm glad you're fired up to explore the djembe. Keep working!

[@kyni87]

This is amazing. I am Senegalese and it is fascinating to see how you made our traditional modern but still respectfully

[@dorsia6938]

That was so sick, nice job dude.

[@virtualpigmaster]

This is awesome. Love the style of this.

[@PauDaniApp]

Waoooo q ritmo Me encanta wao wao waoooooo Saludos desde Cali Colombia 🇨🇴❤❤❤❤❤

[@learning2levitatethroughdr685]

I cant believe that there is 589 dipshits in the world that would give this a thumbs down.....This kid has a plethora of talent and gets 10 for ten in creativity and uniqueness. VERY INSPIRING VERY AWESOME

[@joeybrown8471]

They weren't patient enough to get past the first minute. Their loss. :)

[@bockety]

guess most people here have never seen a real djembefola…

[@aLby_doira]

what is creative about it oonauq?

[@learning2levitatethroughdr685]

+alby Application. I watch an hours worth of percussion videos every lunch hour and have for over a year. I've been playing percussion insturments for 23 years and selling them for 8, and I've never seen anyone play quite like this. Obviously he didnt invent any techniques in this video, but his application, patience, and aproach in my opinion make him a VERY CREATIVE musician. my 2 cents

[@matthewbouressa]

Plethora of talent? 23 years and this is what you think talent is? These Remos can make so many sounds and he just does a lame beat and calls it a solo....

[@ipkez]

4kk views and top comments 30 + likes.. cmoooon.... u made people speachless xD . this is most groove djembe plays i heard. just /applaud , its rly awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@retroricknetherlands7213]

[@sonntagbeiomi6960]

I picked up a djembe myself thanks to you man

[@Xykaru]

I just fell in love with this instrument in the past 10 minutes appreciate the highs and lows. Took me forever to figure out what it's called. What brand is this particular instrument you're playing? I am trying to buy the cheapest high quality one possible for beginning. Thank you.

[@meltedsandwich6716]

Go for a remo they are decent quality have a easy tuning system for beginners and are a little lighter as they are synthesized not hard wood they are a bit metallic tones but a 14in remo is a great instrument for a beginner

[@nicolascasagrande5018]

To play something like what he played you need years Bro 🙃 this instrument doesnt sound like that. He made sound like that 😬

[@stevesyncox9893]

Cheap...high quality.... oxy moron.

[@alexerolski]

WOW! Despite the fact that this percussion instrument - I've heard the Wind !

[@DavidDorenfeld]

Hell Yes. Dude great drumming and finesse. love the beats and fills would love to do this on my djembe.

[@raghavrao4132]

This is sheer talent thats it he is unbelievable, am amzed by the sounds he pullled out of this thing djembe, my god, am highly impressed........

[@deamstrzzz]

What size and model is this remo, love the sound

[@KruzerOak]

Looks like a 10 in mondo to me.

[@ballsofdoom3124]

Traditional Djembe playing or not... this is outstanding.

[@avisupchurch]

Very nice, I especially like your "rimshot" sound!

[@boyjoja]

Hi, can you tell me the different between Doumbek vs djembe please... tks

[@attiati]

*where can I find more djembe music from you?

[@Perviz_Bilesuvar]

[@ewam.6071]

[@zamkowicz]

[@1995flavio1]

[@kalsieru]

Scallonwag your ass out the door :P

[@cristianmoragabarra]

Awesome! Man you've got the power!

[@hewhal]

I'm a singaporean abroad, just picking up the djembe and imagine my surprise to find a fellow singaporean playing so well on youtube! Great beats there, but I have to agree with some others that the intro was too "contemporary" for my taste.

[@hassanmahabir404]

I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that but I truly do like what you have created I will make sure to read the description instead of assuming or guessing to understand what I'm watching before I comment. once again I am truly sorry.

[@mlindalina1]

I find your little grunts amusing hahaha

[@turbochickenstudios]

You might be the only one who spotted them, ha!

[@Cann-Did]

Turbochicken Studios no i noticed lol

[@aplus916]

I enjoyed that a lot. One of my favorites

[@modernfabian]

Where do I get one of these?

[@gamermason4]

Thats right gently caress the djembe

[@silvcimi]

Sos genial!!!!!

[@heathlin8501]

HOW CAN U SAY HIM UGLY

[@richarjesus1637]

[@Halvalife]

Please tell me, what is the name of the model of this djembe?

[@roseoris297]

I thought you are doing ASMR dude. And i fell sleep hear it. Good job 😂

[@tls5870]

The first 1:45 reminds me a bit of Ross Gellar on the keyboard. No offense Shawn, you are awesome, especially on a Cajon

[@turbochickenstudios]

HAHA! I searched it, and it's quite funny: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r33EaXWoaptsnaM

[@tls5870]

Lol I just watched it for the first time in forever, so hilarious. I just ordered a Cajon from Amazon, it's the Meinl Percussion Jumbo Bass Subwoofer Cajon, I can't wait for it to come in.

[@turbochickenstudios]

Lovely. Record it if you can!

[@tls5870]

+Shawn Turbochicken I will!

Sweet, thanks for sharing this!

[@eraldogomes5616]

Toca muito mas aquela enrolação no começo passando a mão no instrumento me fez dar deslike infelizmente !

[@misaelaraujo4114]

1:20 só alisando o estrumento 😒

[@ONESNZER0S]

nice drumming, you have natural talent!!

[@rob26b]

HI. Is this the 12 Inch Remo Djembe? What do you think of it? Would you recommend it?

[@mikeoxner7926]

There's a reason those traditional people are mad at this guy. They lack the talent . so don't get mad be happy for this guy . he's bad to the bone . thanks for the video and keep rocking that drum !

[@RobertWilliamsisthebomb]

Mike Oxner I thought it was good, but a lot of traditional drummers are better... this was a nice beat but little more.

[@gonzaleandro]

+Mike Oxner If he didn't acted so much during his playing (or if I was blind) maybe I would've appreciated more what he did. It sounds nice but it's way too acted and, to be honest, his hand technique is far from perfect. It's not about talent. It's that you know when someone plays his or hel soul through the drum, and he isn't doing that. He's trying to be impressive.

[@mikeoxner8260]

+Leandro González lets hear what you can do. i act spastic while playing. its different artist to artist. i cant judge. i like what i hear.

[@gonzaleandro]

+Mike Oxner Exactly. We tend to acquire certain facial gestures and such, maybe look serious. It's unintentional. This guy is crearly trying to visually impress those who see him play. That's what I don't like. I also like what I hear, his playing is good (leaving aside his technique). I'm talking about his pose, which is -to me- not quite the same as "can't control looking spastic while I play".

[@vatayanmedyog]

+Mike Oxner Absolutely .....

Well done for not being "authentic". It's nice to hear the variation you can get on a single skin. The previous poster should learn to speak with some respect before trying to be critical, it helps!

[@turbochickenstudios]

Thanks Simon. Indeed I was looking to explore into augmented techniques for this remake of a traditional goblet drum. Technically speaking the Remo fibreglass djembes aren't authentic even. With new materials come new sounds.
