First time learning rhythm Sandji – Fanka in Trouble!

OK this rhythm is called Sandji sounds Indian Sandji in Malinke
means "rain" (the rhythm) is just a composition there's 
no specific region nor tied to a specific style   so, as in we can decide how fast or how…
(the speed that we play) means I cannot use this stick ah 
why? cuz this stick is for the forest region cuz it looks like a tree~ au naturel this is the signal eh…? why like never finish? Mamady… why every time Mamady write rhythms like this? whoa I tell you… this rhythm…
T_____T our dear Mamady likes to write rhythms like that yeah but it's fun~ it's confirm Sangban one
it's always Sangban it's just a matter of Sangban with who only why my leg (feels) very hot ah…? wait it explode on my leg okay like that la
(Helman: never had that problem on my leg) eh wait la
again.

You never (finished showing) oh I know why it's warm already… why? your heat pack ok call! ready? try again cannot sia you want to go like just now? now (eye power to trigger signal) I do have a problem with
remembering what comes next uhh…. it's um… ya I am old…
(edit: Su is not really old) OK? No I don't understand… OK la ey?! Melvin!! you want (it) what actually I didn't catch (the rhythm) leh ok ok try try try try
(how many times want to try) now OK? easy break is the conversation
but we'll layer it in   so everybody play break together
except for Dununba first basically play their conversation (Sangban & Kenkeni) whatever is Sangban is tone
whatever is Kenkeni is slap ya
almost, almost Melvin is a good drummer but um…

Err…… yeah um… ….. (Melvin's hand: slap you then you know) the first part ok (singing) this is a good example of do not give 
up at the first sign of difficulty do not give up at the first 
sign of difficulty because   more difficulty
might come ahead thank you very much but you don't remember
what you did right? oh my god
poor Melvin…! but it's Melvin
he'll be fine  I don't like this song
so difficult I think my brain is not working (today) why must play this song can play another song or not? if I change the handing to this
maybe it's easier (Su's head:
no I don't think so) (naughty laughter) wait wait…
too many voices Melvin will need some time to will need some some more time to be able to just play it
without thinking about it Jiayou Melvin!! ❤ yeap yeap with Dunun play! play! okokokokok (x100) 👍 so
(singing 1st part) this part no bell then
(singing 2nd part) then no bell also? …..

We have to have bell because
we are entering the (rhythm) keep to break – no bell
then the first line conversation got bell I was thinking we use cowbell kau belo
(you're screwed) okokokok (x100) I also forgot one more time I have a question! so when Dununba comes in at the second half of the break
still want to add bell or no bell? with bell when Dununba comes in
it's everybody (together) I am everybody no you are porto- bello…
ah diam (shut up) (omg…….) …………..

Portobello? seriously? I thought like a rat or what sia it's like
bom, bombombom (x10) eh wait wait! forget Sandji.
