| | Djembe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The djembe originated in West Africa, where it became an integral part of the area's music and tradition. | | | The Djembe spelling with the "dj" comes from the fact that French has no hard "J" sound like that found in English. | | | Other notes exist, but only advanced drummers can consistently create sound distinct from the others. |

| | Djembe Technique - how to play djembe - make bass, tone & slap sounds |
| | Developing good djembe technique is crucial if you want to be an in-demand djembe accompanist or if you want to solo for dance classes or in performance. | | | The kind of sound most beginning drummers make when hitting a drum is somewhere between a tone and a slap (usually closer to the tone). | | | For all of the basic sounds, let your hand rebound as soon as it has made its sound. |
