Learning Djembe drums

Posted August 31st, 2010.

Learning to play Djembe Drums traditionally involved spending years and years with the djembe teachers. You would have to follow your master to all the different ceremonies and events he might visit to play the drums. Only after many years of practice would you become a real djembe player. Learning these drums includes learning the basic sounds and also learning some traditional rhythms. You might be able to learn this easily and play it but to master this art it takes years of practice. For your drums to sound like the djembe masters, it would take real hard work and determination.
