Tom Roady

"Awesome!!! Absolutely great package for starting djembe players. A book, DVD and CD that is really exceptional. I love the way the exercises and rudiments alternate left and right - paradiddles, flam taps and accents. I am going to make time to practice along with you, I can use some "time" on the djembe for sure. I particularly liked the way you handled the feel aspects, "pulse", and the play along section is also well done, short and to the point";. "Liz, Fantastic!" You are playing your ass off on the bonus tracks! I’m proud of you girl, you have found your calling and passion…the way you are giving to students present, past and future is a real inspiration."


Dean Rossi....(Drummer and student)


"Finally someone did it! Liz has created the best system for learning the djembe I've seen in my 30 years as a professional drummer and instructor. "Djembe 101" is the "missing link" we've all been waiting for -- a way to prepare yourself to enjoy the world of African rhythms available to you from the masters. It's organized, well thought-out, and comprehensive -- best of all it makes practicing by yourself fun and easy. The CD and DVD are top quality and Liz does a great job demonstrating techniques and exercises. I truly believe "Djembe 101" is the real deal and destined to become the standard of all Djembe books -- a must have for anyone who wants to learn how to play this drum."
