There is a new drum notation tool on djembefola.com. It allows you to tab djembe rhythms and well as dundun and other drums. You can then email links to the page with the notation on it… very powerful and useful…

If you would like to learn to play djembe, I would recommend you check out djembefola.com. Having looked around the web for djembe lessons, there is still not many detailed articles and the there is certainly a lot of misinformation.You tube is both the best and the worst source of learning. There are a lot of poor videos on there demonstrating really bad technique and a lack of understanding, both of the history and culture of the drum, and the feel of the music.Therefore if you are serious about learning to play djembe it’s really important to find a reliable source or community of people such as djembefola.com to advise you.

I’ve seen some really nice djembe drum for sale on djembefola.com. The Bambara design isn’t something I’ve seen before. I’d love to get my hands on one of them..

This video seems to give a brief run over a few different instruments and style..

Anyone say more please?

Wicked drumming and dancing

A kind of djembe related documentary with Mansa Camio.

I’ve been checking out a bit of Zouli lately and decided to keep them all in one.

Have a look and see what you think and join the discussion.
