An example of a djembe workshop

[e2c]

What Mikeleza said.

I was referring to the people making jokes and laughing in the first few comments Michi. You are right about the internet but from my point of view there is nothing that deserves too much negative critisism about this video... negative comments would be more of a "hating" action than anything. People should just leave the lady alone I reckon... Theres plenty of great djembe videos on line and they all have a place and relevance to each individual person who wants to learn.

And... I think some of us (all of us?) probably need to come to terms with the fact that there's a whole different world out there in the drum circles. Lots of people - like this lady - are more than content with that, and I think they have every right to enjoy what they're doing and not get bashed by hardcore djembe heads.

And she certainly isn't trying to hawk "the secrets of the djembe"; only to share her enjoyment. I like Mikeleza's comments about her teaching technique as well.

I also suspect that many people - like this lady - are very naive about the internet; especially about the nastiness that seems to be the rule in so many YouTube comments.

There were some concerns that another topic thread would show up in Google searches... so we have given the topic a less searchable name.

Thanks all!
