Instructional DVDs

Postby Jan >^..^< » Thu May 12, 2011 12:46 am

Any suggestions for good instructional DVDs for djembe beginners? (Yeah, I know classes would be better, but that might not be an option with my schedule right now).

That guy in the video section is good (Kpanlogo). Is his stuff available on DVD?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks! :djembe:

To learn to play, a total beginner can get a lot from http://www.dancinghands.com/view_category.php?id=2 How to Play Djembe - Book with CD West African Rhythms For Beginners
by Alan Dworsky and Betsy Sansby.

I hear this one is good: http://holygoat.com/drumstore/product_i ... ucts_id=87

That's a good video. It's targeted at complete beginners, and does an outstanding job at conveying the basics. You will outgrow this once you've played for 6-12 months. But, for people new to the djembe, this DVD is a good first step.

Cheers,

Michi.

I actually ordered the Gentle Djembe series by Dworsky a few days ago. I arrived yesterday. Haven't tried it yet.
