Thank you so much for writing these rhythms out!
Greatest showmen on earth
Thank you for writing these out!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Pthank you. The rhythm is quite familiar. What's the traditional name
I'm new to Djembe, started about a year ago but classes disrupted a lot due to Covid; we just went back November but at present they're cancelled again! I've been trying to keep practicing since I got my own drum for Xmas and so pleased to have found your classes today, especially the last video saying about not needing to put your full hand on the base,, as my drum is a small one and that made it so much easier, and stopped me getting the dull base sound I had before 🤗
Kalani--you always provide such great vids for beginner, intermediate, and even us advanced players. I frequently direct my students to your videos for many reasons, mainly because of your easy teaching style and your never ending humor! Thanks for your contributions. I look forward to more!
Thanks John (5 years later…) 😜
Thanks for a really useful educational video! Love the rhythms, I play them all the time on my djembe (total beginner). You are a great teacher.
I love your methodology of teaching in these videos. It's great to have a source to reference back to.
Thanks Kalani, really enjoyed. Metronome really great idea. Thanks for making this video
That 's wonderful while the rhythms are quite simple they sound extremely good. Thanx for showing it!
Great teaching! Thank you so much. I'm more of a beginner still. I've been playing the Djembe for 2 years now and the way you teach by vocalising the sounds, by clapping is exactly like my teacher teaches us. Very good to follow and includes different channels of learning (hearing words, singing sounds, clapping rhythms). Thank you!
You are a very good instructor! I am glad you are into this and making these videos.
Im head of my djembe drumming group at school. Gonna use this rhythm in one of my songs!
Use your head but also the head of the djembe

Hey there Djembe fam! I just found you guys and subscribed. I'm watching while I wait for my first Djembe arrives. One of my very first indications that I had crossed the veil to enlightenment in 2018 was this distinct sound vibrating through me and I instantly grabbed a stool and began drumming like it was in my DNA . I already somehow knew exactly how to position my hands and the basic beats and rhythms instinctively. My world has been spinning every since and it's only now 2023 that I'm in a place where I can explore this further.
I've always thought about how we just don't know how many Beethoven's there have been that just never sat at a piano.
I can't wait to get my hands on that drum. I hope to be a part of this community and share my progress. Maybe one day have a live jam session. I see big things happening everywhere and music, sound, rhythm, vibration, geometry, breath, movement and color is where it all begins. This much I know. 🙏🌟🙃
The second rithm (7:30) is usually played with alternated hands. Actually, one use the regular handings only if one wants to add extra strokes to make variations. As shown: RLRR. In order to balance the load between hands, the logic wants to leave the two consecutive tones as is i.e. right then left. Then, the slap must therefore stay on the right hand. Conclusion : in order to alternate, just do the bass with the left hand. This pattern has many advantages. 1/ do the slap with the strong hand. 2/ allow for on-the-fly change from alternate to regular handings, just by changing which hand does the. Bass
Ssas
It’s good to have options. Thanks for the info!
You are an excellent teacher.👍
Thank you so much. 🙏
I,ve been playing it for a hole month thank you
Hey Kalani love your friendly vibe and great teaching skills thank you :)
Thank you Kalani - so clear. You're a gem
Great video! Your methodic of teaching is superb!
Very nice of you to share your very good lesson ! Thank you ,
love your teaching style so much!
I just started Djembé and this video helped me alot :) Thanks!
Thank you SO much for this vid. I’m just about to start djembe and this helped a lot
yay! thanks for making this easy to learn~
Awesome video.. thank you.
Very well done.
thank you for everything. now I know everything which you thought me THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
thank you! I was having a hard time getting my hands to move at the right tempo and the way you explained it by vocalizing the beats made so much sense! Very clear and the the point :)
Yes - Vocalizing is a big help, since we are often more adept at vocalizing than we are at moving our hands in particular ways. Glad you found this post helpful.
This video is helping me with a project at school so thank you.
These rhythms sound amazing on kalimba too
Love this, learning and enjoying alot.
I LOVE your lessons!
Well thanks for everything!!!!
I plan on getting a dejembe and learning to play. Rhiannon. A. Great winter project and lots of fun
I'm planning to start learning sometime in December and I needed this kind of video. Thank you.
And and??

I enjoy drums. I really liked the video. :)
it's nice to learn from you..thank you ..
Thank you. You are a great teacher.
thank you for everything
Beautiful, thank you for my first session:)
I love your videos!
I'm using an empty Folgers coffee can. It works well 😁
Awesome
cool, it's the pattern that counts!
I love passport! I love this so much. I love my Djembe! This is of value for sure!
Great lesson - thanks!
The first pattern kind of reminds me of 'In the summer time, when the weather is hot...' and the song 'Love is in the Air'.
very inspirational and its very understandable
Kalani ,it's nice to learn from you , you really break down the rhythms and it's easier for me to learn this way... You are awesome thank you ..
Thank you!
You rock!!!!! Great rhythm.
Thank you! Please spread the word!
Jesus... u r very good... very passionate... and very efficient. Good job
Thank you for this video, I have for a while been enthusiastic about learning hand drumming, and finally now taking the time. This video is a wonderful start - Clear and upbeat!
Thank you! Hope you're making progress. Let me know what types of videos you want to see more of.
WORLD DRUM CLUB I am a slow learner. I have watched each part of each rhythm many, many times. But I am learning, and love it. Two ideas:
1. have an overhead camera. That is easier, especially if a person is slightly dyslexic.
2. after teaching the rhythm, have the metronome going with some music so that we can practice over and over again.
Overhead camera coming. Great suggestion about having the music continue.
Cool! Keep up with these videos!
Thank you!
I recommend you to please make a visit to Kerala in India and witness a one of kind orchestra in the world, which happens once in every year, usually during may, at a festival in a place called thrissur.
Great insruction!
OH YEAH! Great job!
I coach drum ⭕️ circles and 1:1 percussion congas 🪘cajon for you g adults with learning disabilities.
This is the best guide for helping
🙏🎶
You should definitely do a higher tier patron package in case someone wants some 1 on 1 with ya :) thanks for the vid!
A beautiful Instrument
Great video thanks :)
love how you teach
I just get a bucket and enjoy yout videos hahaha
Looooooooool
😂
Hopefully for you its a rimless bucket
Maybe a djembe is on ur bucketlist then..
its OK to play anything!
I like the 'Yankadi Makru' at the last 20 seconds :)
How cool ,thank you.
Novice player and for some reason I find it easier to play the faster rhythms than the slower. I don’t hit it. Great tutorial mate thanks
First get accurate. THEN get fast.
I like your video and it’s very good.
Thanks!
Drumming is amazing
Excellent presentation! Your lessons are great! I couldn’t quite understand what u called the second rhythm. What is that?
Thanks Kalani, I really enjoyed your video. I managed to get the two rhythms and feel like getting a Djembe again so I could practice and learn even more rhythms. So what I am trying to say is that I did get a lot out of your video, maybe if I get a drum I could become a patron as well. However the neighbours are always a problem unless you put a towel over the drum I guess. Anyway, thanks a lot. Peace and love.
Thanks for the kind words and I"m glad you got something from the video. Yes, a towel over the drum head works great for practice. I used to play my drumset like that when I was first learning.
Thank you!!!
Thank youuuuuuuuuu!
I've just found this Club out!. And it seems epic!. I learnt a lot from this lesson. Thanku dude!. Xoxo 😘 Defo subscribed, sorry I ain't got no dosh to help ya out, but I will Oneday!. Xx 😘. I love ❤️ Djembe. U sound a bit like Terence Fletcher from Whiplash!... lol 😂 jokes!. Love EM-B!

Honey Rush why?
it was really helpful
Very nicely explained sir
Thank you.
Funky beat brah...thanks
Awesome Lesson ✌️
Love from India ❤️
Djembe is not really my type of instrument but i enjoyed playing once when I was taking a music class..for those who know how to play a drums it will not be that difficult to catch up just my opinion and experience... I guess you are a good Djembe player.
I wish I could see your hands on the corner of the screen so I can copy the right and the left hands with the rythm pattern
Thanks
Hi! This is a great video. These djembe rhythms are really helpful for learning fundamental skills. I want to make sure that everyone who watches this video can understand this video, even though the use of captions, so I thought I would give you a heads up about your captions. I know these mistakes are not your fault, but the captions are often wrong whenever you say the word "djembe." For example, it reads "Jimmy," "gym baby," and "generate." At one point the captions also say "drop the baby momma" which is a little frightening. I thought I'd just let you know so others can use the captions! Great video!
creators have no control over the auto-generated subtitles. you can subtitle the video yourself and submit it to the creator if you like. youtube has a system for that.
Thank you for the tip and noticing the captions. I'll do my best to get those fixed!
ok.. just to point out - keep rings off the fingers when playing djembe.. easy to pop the skin.
Vlado Mudrak I came to the comments to see if anybody else noticed that
Its the precious
I can’t get my wedding bad off. Am I going to break it?
@@graceandbailey as long as you’re not hitting hard, on the tones or slaps. Should be okay.
He has a special ring for this
A graphic of the pattern would help me a lot. (Was having sync issues but seems to be OK now) ! Having now watched the whole vid you mentioned the notation link, so all is well. Now I need to listen to more, practice and join! Tomorrow I’m going to my first drum, Djembe, workshop/circle (Candyman Music, Santa Fe NM) with my new djembe I got two days ago. Thanks!
Hi Robert, I’m in your neck of the woods. Any drum classes or circles going on here now?
Interesting how the slightly off way of playing the second rhythm is almost identical to "El Dem-Bow", ubiquitous in Regaeton. Although in Regaeton it's essentially bass--- slap- bass-- slap--. And the slap is usually a cymbal, commonly a synth cymbal (and bass is usually e-drum too)
Never ever play djembe with a ring on your finger !!!
I learned the hard way
Wow, I done it over 100 times, and survived. Must be a lucky man!
Generally, it’s better not to play while wearing rings or bracelets. Some rings, on some hands, under different conditions, will not pose an issue.
I just found your channel and you are sweet. Thank you .
I luv the vids I think great job?
Thank you! Complete newbie question: in the second rhythm even though I’m right-handed I’m much happier playing the base with my left. Should I train myself out of it, or is it ok! Thanks again.
The second rhythm is called Kuku, and it is the 1st accompaniment part for Kuku. It is also used as a 2nd accompaniment part with many other rhytms. I personally always used my Left hand in the Bass and alternate my hands equally for this djembe accompaniment part, and I am right handed. Happy drumming.
In our djembe class we call this rythm "adobe photoshop" (after first beat the phrase sounds like "a-dobe pho-to-shop")
I mean first one rythm
I like it...so much,where can i learn? I live in Taiwan.
Can you also count for all your youtube in future. It's easy for me to learn. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This was a great lesson. Do you have a link of the drum you are playing on or something comparable?
slap, slap slap, tone tone
Much appreciation! for a real beginner(me) it would have been SO helpful if you had the Right and Left hand would have been included in an other window or in the description box. I'm sure to get quicker at catching the lessons, most likely. I needed to stop and write it down and replay a few times. That isn't a complaint! Again Thank You!
Got it! We're now setup for overhead shot, so all future lessons will have both front and "player view." Enjoy!
Hey Chavah Fried, I posted the Right and Left notation from these two rhythms in my comment above.
@@WORLDDRUMCLUB what is the metronome set to for first rhythm, and is it 4/4 timing ?
Hi . Thank you. I think the first one is called N’Goron rythm.
Great but would be great to have an overhead view so it would be easier to follow you left and right hands.
Coming in all future videos. I may re-do this video, or create an addition, with the overhead shot.
Geoff Browning
Yeah! Thank you, not just me? The two rights in a row f me up; am I over thinking it? It's important, no?
THX;)
is it possible to transpose these sounds with percussion of the Caribbean as the KA ?
Using a metronome is really foreign to me. If I think too much about whether my notes are on or off the pulse I loose the rhythm altogether. About as far as I can get is keeping my first note on the pulse (if its on the pulse). Any advice about the use of metronomes?
I find this video confusing because the drum audio doesn't seem to sink with what's happening visually - is there an echo in the room?
