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.

Djembe Basic Notes Rythm

On the last clip I showed the 3 basic notes found on a Djembe Drum,

This is the actual rhythm that you can play using only those 3notes.

Don't worry if you are not as fast in the beginning, the point isn't speed, as long as you are consistent in playing the CORRECT rhythm.
