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.

joanne & kenneth, botanic gardens, 26th sept

at enchanting halia retaurant. oolala!
the couple even catered seafood pasta for our dinner!
good ambience makes the food tastier, and creates better fellowship.

we fixed the ballads and easy tunes into our first set while the guests attended to their stomachs. the buffet was outdoor but some of them sat in to listen to us (and enjoy the air conditioning, of course) and jerome (our male voice) further pleasured their dinner with his creamy canto pop voice.

the couple and their guests are oleskool party people...after food and alcohol they went footloose! bananarama's love in the first degree, wo yi jian ni jiu xiao (i smile everytime i see you), can't take my eyes off you...from disco to chachacha, from tune to tune, from dance to dance. we were adventurous, attempting pop, rock, disco, bossa, jazz, reggae and latin in a single wedding! i think we served our purpose, totally value for money.

jixiang on guitar, ivan on sax, myself on drums, huibing and jerome on vocals.

gamsia ALD!

L to R myself, jerome, jixiang, huibing, joanne, kenneth, ivan
