## Description

Let's face it: playing Djembe as it's traditionally played can be really hard on your hands. This is the only DVD for beginning hand drummers-especially adult beginners-who want to experience the joys of playing Djembe while going easy on their hands. It was created by Alan Dworsky, the best-selling author of "How to Play Djembe" and two-time winner of DRUM Magazine's readers' poll for "Best Percussion Method Book." Each of the seven step-by-step lessons on the video starts like a private lesson and ends with Alan's entire class playing the rhythm, so you also get a sense of what it's like to play in a group. Proper playing technique is covered in depth and African rhythms are adapted to a Gentle Djembe style, so that you can play safely and comfortably no matter what your age. And each lesson has a matching play-along track, making the DVD a complete learning tool. Shot in gorgeous wide-screen format and endorsed by Arthur Hull as "the most non-intimidating way for beginning beginners to get started." NTSC all region. 60 minutes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    quite useful and INEXPENSIVE
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013*

For those who are older, those with arthritis, playing the drum with one fewer position may make playing the drum possible.  This product is marketed for those who need a gentle approach, and it works well, omitting the slap.  Play-along sections are wonderful. INEXPENSIVE- I would have to drive 15 miles one way to pay $60 per hourly private lesson with an advertised  djembe teacher in my area. I paid $40 plus shipping for the first 2 volumes, and I have had hours of practice on as many patterns as my brain can absorb as a novice. All 3 volumes cost less than one single hour private lesson with no car & no gas involved. INEXPENSIVE.  6 and a half min of sales you can skip vs 51 and a half min of lessons and playalongs.

Easy to follow.  Fun to learn.

    Nice Ultra Beginner DVD
  

*by R***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012*

I bought this, along with a mid-priced rope tuned djembe, for my husband for our anniversary.  He has no musical background, but wanted to be able to drum along while I play acoustic guitar.This DVD is broken down into chapters that each focus on one pattern.  The patterns start very, very basic, and progress into more fun and faster rhythms.  You learn the pattern and then play along with the group at his hippie djembe retreat and you can almost smell the patchouli.  :)The instructor is likeable, and he demonstrates proper hand positioning, drum positioning, and technique in a very positive way.
