the video you saw earlier on was solo footages
from one of Mamady Keïta's workshops back in 2006 in Guinea and at the end of every rhythm or solo
technique that he taught he will always do like a conclusion where he will mix the different
techniques that he has taught in class and make it like an improvisational presentation
so as you can see from the video some of the phrases are not like fixed phrases of how many
times and it's all pure improvisation flowing out from Mamady's hands so what I want to share
with everybody is to take out some of the nice uh technique and nice drum licks we saw
on the video and organize it in a definite maner for you to follow along and play along so hope you
enjoy and get some practice out from this video so we have seen the solo techniques that Mamady demonstrated from the 3 previous videos now let's learn and play along with these three
techniques now for every technique i will break into different segments to learn slowly first
