i'm still getting response (email, youtube) from all over the world since i started this djembe for worship project in 2008 so do send me a second email if i fail to reply your first.

i appreciate the goodwill but due to paypal issues i'm afraid i can't take donation or money order. you can however engage me to teach in your church or organization, no matter where you are from.


FAQ

what size?

it really depends on what you're using it for. i would recommend 10", which serves up to 25 pax in a controlled environment, if you need to bring it around often. a 12" will have more bass and overtones, and can reach up to 35 pax.

which type?

the traditional wood body, animal skin and rope tuning gives a more ethnic tone. it's also deeper more mellow. it's more susceptible to humidity and rope tuning doesn't last as long as the modern makes' lug tuning. your best bet is to try them out, see which best suits where you are and the type of music you play.

your methods are non trad. do you have your own schemes?


what i do with the djembe is totally unorthodox, so there is no official way to play or write the music. but essentially, i do everything based on 16th notes, and use mostly

Bass | touch | Open tone | Closed (harmonic) tone

also.

13th june, four seasons hotel.





there was so much wit against the groom but it rocked the ballroom with laughter. clever jokes from close friends depicted how they've seen him (and her) through the 9 years of courtship. i was so taken in (even julian's) that i stood throughout (and i don't enjoy standing) the speeches. eli, one of the bestmen, said this of julian (teasingly, of course)

"julian would double the distance to accomplish goals when needed - i stress - when needed. using "god" to describe him would be apt. you see, he is high and mighty, he sets his own rules and does his own things and you can't say anything. plus, if he does any work, it's a miracle."

the 2 bestmen were supposed to sabo him to do a song (which he had prepared), which in the end he had to diy sabo because they forgot.
