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.

28.11.09 Meiting's wedding, CONRAD

an evening of bossa, swing and classics.
juliet on vocals, ruth ling on keys, wah yong on bass, daniel on guitar and myself on drums.


wahyong, ruth, meiting, groom, juliet, me, daniel

the only uhoh of the evening was the very noticeable hum from the foh (main house speakers) due to audio / lighting and power cables being built together, so couples who are intending to hold their dinner at conrad take note! you will need to remove the earth from the main power to X the problem.

anyway, it was joanna dong's gig but she couldn't make it. juliet is so smooth with the chinese pop and classics i got distracted every few bars. ruth makes it so easy for us (we didn't have to do much.) wahyong and daniel did their usual thing, along with the help of some beer and wine, we swung and pretty much enjoyed ourselves (the guests too, coz we opened the dance floor.)

the cutest part of the wedding is a video of pri sch students congratulating ms meiting (she's a teacher) in becoming mrs something (can't rem, sorry!)

i liked it that all of us are Christians, sat and talked over dinner about evangelism and daniel's recent outreach experience.


thanks juls!
