How to Play the Djembe 2 : Rhythmic Ear Training by Jim Donovan 

You're most welcome! Thanks for the kindness. Peace, Jim

Thanks so much. I appreciate the feedback! Peace, Jim

thank you.....just got my first Djembe....loving it - YOU ARE GOOD!!!

I feel like I have not only learned from you, jammed with you, but best of all had a freakin drum drinkin good ol' time!!!! very nice!! hope to get a video response posted soon!

Went to my first drum circle on the beach and it was really great! I'm hooked. Just bought a djembe but had no idea how to play it.... Your videos are very informative. I especially like the split screen - showing hand placement. So as not to disturb the rest of the house, I practice on my mouse pad at my desk. LOL. Thanks for the videos!

this movie is so helpful! thank you so much!!! i bought my djembe today and i was worried about not being able to find someone to teach me, but as long as you keep uploading these movies i think i'll be just fine :)

So glad you like it. Good luck with your playing. Peace, Jim

Wow that is a cool way to teach someone playing the djembe thx alot. I am going to buy one I think and now your video have convinced me to do.

You are a great teacher

Had a little trouble keeping it straight near the end, but what a good series of videos that you have posted. I am just learning to play djembe. and am so glad I looked here today! Thanks Jim!

Just got a djembe. This is a great lesson along with your other lessons. Thank you!

Holy CRAP! This is like playing SIMON! Remember that? This was incredibly helpful and hellafun! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely loved this... I'm in the beginner/learning stage of drumming & found this vid very helpful. Now I'm seriously considering getting your dvd. :)

Thanks for making these videos.. it really helps me goin.. I love drumming :D Thanks

genius thanks for the lesson is amazing! one two three four

Well I don't have a Dejembe, so I used my desk and, if nothing else this was a lot of fun just to do.

OMG, I love this. Does your website offer more videos like this?

thank you so much

wow that was fun :)

"You should be breathing!" xDDDDD LOOOL! Hahaha, Im laughing my ass of now! :D Just bought djembe, and I was so much into repeating what he is doing that I really forgot to breathe! :D Maan, you are my djembe hero!

find out if there is a drum circle or full moon festival, somewere you can play with other people. its the best way to get better skills and the feel for it. practice, practice,practice.

thanks a lot Jim really good video i have been playing the djembe for the last 3 months im learning at my school and i fell in love with djembes, i really want to buy one but i want to know if you could give em some advises of what should i get and what price i should be expecting thx again =D

Is this series available on DVD? I'd like to combine the tones, ear training & African djembe patterns into one DVD to get a good workout rebuilding skills with my djembe (just replaced it after 3 years without one). I like how you go slow & repeat the moves so that I can follow along without getting lost. :)

I search for something like this for such a long time. Can you give me some tips on similar videos or can you make another videos but for more advanced ear rhythmic practicing?

greaaaaaaaaaaaatt stuufffff

cool
