You may be a djembe player if

[Carl]

Your car smells like a Malian goat shed.

Owch, this one hits a bit close to home...

another one...

"your spouse won't let you name the pet goats..."

[rachelnguyen]

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

[michi]

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

[Djembe-nerd]

- 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

[bops]

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

[Peter Holzmann]

Your car smells like a Malian goat shed.

your attic, hall, sitting room, kitchen smell like Malian goat shed.

[aghis]

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.

[Rhythmtree]

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

[Waraba]

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

[hanDrum]

... when you sing a call (appel) always before you speak the first sentence

[michi]

… 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…

Michi.

this is definitely my garage. toss in 6 bikes and a full bike shop's worth of tools and it can get messy real quick.

[ClarkeSheena]

If you get annoyed by people calling your djembe a bongo.

+1! That sounds perfectly sane

[gr3vans]

You drum in a line, and not a circle
