to Play Djembe
A Great Way to Get Started Learning How to Play
a Djembe!

This
is a complete, user-friendly course on how to play djembe, the popular
West African hand drum. Right from the start, students will learn
interlocking parts for seven of the most popular West African rhythms.
After only a few step-by-step lessons, they'll be able to put the
parts together and start playing these irresistible rhythms with
friends on their djembe. Simultaneously, they'll learn how to make
each basic stroke: bass, tone and slap. Clear illustrations demonstrate

how each stroke feels on the inside.
The CD-recorded by Joh Camara, a master drummer from Mali-gives

When Joh solos during the final three minutes of each track, students
feel the thrill of playing their part along with the ensemble and
lead drummer. The perfect beginner's book for learning to play the
djembe in no time at all.
