Drum Circle in East London,S.A


These are all photo's from one of our weekly Drum Workshops, held by Richard in East London,S.A at a pub called "Imbizo". As you can see the pub has a very African vibe to it which is perfect for Djembe Workshops.

There are a few Experienced Drummers at this particular event. The Lady playing the Big Djembe is also a Master Drummer,(and my very best friend) Beverly.
As you can also see we even have a regular Rastafarian(Bra Gift Watchman).
This Djembe was carved and skinned by Richard,Please e-mail me if you are looking for a drum made by him...his drums are of awesome quality, so good in fact, that some of his drums have even been exported to Germany.
...And of course, no Drumming event would be utterly complete without my BEAUTIFUL Wife with her GORJIS smile(I'm scoring points folks,hehehe).

If you ever DO go and introduce yourself to him, tell him I say "Hi"

Ta-ka-doem-ta African Drum Rhythm Rounding Off


This is a quick tip how to play the African "Ta- Ka- Doem- Ta" Rhythm, with a nice rounded off sound.

This method of "Rounding Off" can be used with any rhythm you play, in fact you will see it many many more times on this blog.
It has a nice whole sound, and really fills up the space between the notes that you play.

I hope this video is explained well, Enjoy.
