I got a drum
    #4416226 - 07/17/05 07:09 PM (18 years, 8 months ago)

It's a djembe, and it's really cool. Now if I could only figure out how to play it :tongue:

Awesome! Djembes rock! :laugh:

They have three basic tones - Bass, Tone, and Slap

bass - hit the middle of the drum with the base of the palm

tone - hitting right outside the rim

slap - fingertips hitting the rim


here's a decent site - http://www.larryswanson.com/drum-and-dance/djembe-technique.htm

www.djembe.net

lots of info and notated rhythms.

btw, notated rhythms are great for programming into drum sequencers. there are groups of rhythms that are designed to work together.

Practice by yourself... but playing in a drum circle can help you improve a LOT! And people will help you out learning new things if you are a beginner.

did another google on that bad boy. eight holed double reeded wind
The sound of the shehnai is considered particularly auspicious. For this reason it is found in temples and is an indispensable component of any North Indian wedding.
very cool.

i think one of those monstorous horns from the ricola commercials would be amazing... especialy to play in the middle of the night it would sound like those things from war of the worlds...heh very cool. you know what i saw but didnt buy? finger symbols. give em to my girlfriend and have her belly dance... maybe next time.

I just bought a djembe last week and its highly addicting. i also bought Remembering How To Drum dvd which i highly recommend.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/det...vd&n=507846

djembes are fucking rad.

those high rim notes also alow for some fun flurries.
