What is a Djembe?
A djembe is a type of African Drum. It is made from a large wooden drum, usually with animal skins stretched over it. The djembe drum is used in the traditional music of many West African tribes, and has also become popular in contemporary music as well.
The djembe is used as a solo instrument, but is also frequently played in combination with other instruments, such as the guitar, bass guitar, or piano.
Djembe Rhythm
The djembe rhythm is very similar to the rhythm of the drum that was played in ancient Greece, although there are some differences. The djembe has four beats per measure, which is different than the Greek beat, which has three beats per measure. The djembe rhythm is based on a 4/4 meter, where each measure has four beats.
The djembes are struck with sticks, usually with one stick on each side of the drum. The djembe rhythm can be played using the right hand only, or both hands at once.
Africa
The djembe drum was first used by the people of West Africa. In the beginning, they were used only for ceremonial purposes, but as time went on, they became a part of the culture. They are still used today, although they have been adopted by other cultures as well.
The drum is still used in the traditional music of the West African tribes. Today, the djembe is a popular instrument in many forms of music, including rock, jazz, and hip hop.
Instrument
The djembe instrument is made from a large, hollowed out piece of wood. The djembe drum has a curved bottom, and is often covered with animal skin. There is a hole in the middle of the drum, and the djembe player holds the drum with his left hand, while he strikes it with his right hand.
The djembed is typically played by one person, although it can also be played in a group setting.
Beach Resort
The djembe has become popular in recent years because of its use in beach resorts. These resorts feature drum circles, where people gather to play the djembe. The djembe drum can be used to create an exciting atmosphere at these resorts.
