Part 1 Beginner African drumming (djembe) lesson

Drum teacher Jason Horsler summarizes the beats he teaches his groups of wider opportunities pupils. Disclaimer: The drum beats in this video are only parts of what are traditionally multilayered pieces of music. Some have been slightly simplified for beginners/classes of children. If you want to study african drumming properly, you will need to work with a local teacher. please excuse the slight distortion on the bass stroke. My drum has such a deep bass it was causing the light fixtures to vibrate! visit http://jasonhorsler.tripod.com/ for more drumming goodies as well as weird things such as the hardest maze on the internet, my poetry, paintings, tsunami art, photography and games.
