"Djembe 101", instructional djembe drum book, DVD and audio CD
"Djembe 101" is a beginning instructional djembe book, DVD and 78 track play along CD. This book is designed to assist you in becoming a better djembe player. Whether you are a novice or have been playing for awhile, practicing the concepts introduced in "Djembe 101" will raise your abilities as a djembe player. "Djembe 101" is not a book filled with West African rhythms, rather it is a book that presents a fun, simple, organized approach to better understanding timing and technique when playing West African rhythms on the djembe.
With a better understanding of these two concepts, you will develop greater skills on the djembe drum, your enjoyment level while playing West African rhythms will increase, and hopefully you will be inspired to pursue more knowledge from the African master drummers.
