Djembe for worship. Guitar. Drums.

a ministry place for cell and small groups,

missionaries and music groups.

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.

28th june, amara sentosa, grand ballroom

he, a DR.
she, a SIA girl.
they, the most travelled couple i've played for.

the usual wedding montage of growing up and courtship pictures were replaced by photos of their travels to all continents and favourite cities. he planned a speech in his laohong (full of air; inarticulate) hokkien on the pretext (my gut) of wanting his grandma to understand who he was appreciating, and it was a bond plan. it knocked a few tables worth of guests off their seats and charmed his elders and seniors.

sound was everything we could ask for. they ran on wireless, but we needed monitors and control on our end, and the sound tech whipped out a 12 channel yamaha mixer! i had my 414 as OH and brushwork was my, muesli bar.

ALL NATUREL.

thanks to JASMAN!
