You get excited every time you raise a new callous on your fingers.

You see a heard of goats somewhere in a field while driving and think about all the potential djembe skins going to waste...

- You stand with your djembe upside down over a inscense stick smoke to remove the goat smell.
- You have only 2 hands but have 4 djembes.
- You fight with your wife to throw the computer table in the garage, to make space for the 4 djembes.
- You will buy a 5th one if it sounds good.

your squeeze gives you an ultimatum to either clear out some drums or find another girlfriend/boyfriend and you're thinking the latter option sounds better

When you chew your food, you play dunun rhythms with your teeth.

When you wear colorful trousers, don't know anything about timing, can't play with 2 feet and 2 hands , discussing about "rhythm issues", not able to answer basic questions about timing, never see beyond your jealousy and misery, searching in the net for a new solo while you cannot keep a basic timing, even when you feel that you get it is still wrong, but because you all agree that is right ( 6-10 people) you feel like being one.

you fret about getting your hands too wet when swimming or soaking in a hot tub because you're afraid of losing your calluses

Each time you go to someone else's home, you involuntarily glance about for the family djembe.

… you are no longer able to move from one side of your garage to the other without tripping over djembes, some rope, more djembes, a goat skin, another djembe, the welder, a half-finished djembe shell, a few djembe bags, and yet more djembes…

Methinks I need some "djembesak", along the lines of Ratsak
