How long have you been playing djembe for?

[James]

I'm interested in seeing what the mix of experience we have in the community is, so how long have you been playing djembe for?

[bubudi]

would be cool to add up the years of collective experience we have in the community.

Usually I count October of '99 as my "start date" as that was my first class with Mamady. But I was doing the drum-circle thing for a few years by that time (on a remo in the beginning!)

Percussionist for 26 years (drumset and classical primarily till '99)
I've been playing djembe in one form or another for about 13-ish years (heavy on the "ish")

Peace,

Got my first remo "djembe" in '98, and I met my first African teacher in '99. I played drumset prior to that.
