Movie Reviews of Remembering How to Drum: Djembe Technique
Movie Review: Will Help You Grow
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this DVD to help me learn the fundamentals of Djembe. I'm an experienced Doumbek player, but needed some solid instruction to get me started on a new instrument. This DVD did that and more.
This DVD helped me in very tangible ways from the very beginning, and continues to be a valuable reference as my skills develop. When I first sat with my Djembe, this DVD helped me develop the proper technique for bass, tone, and slap. The yoga exercises helped insure that I didn't injure myself as I developed my technique. (As a long-time yoga practitioner, it was nice to learn a few new things that can specifically help hand drummers.)
As I continued to play and grow, the DVD gave me valuable practice exercises to help me to continue to rapidly develop my skills. I was very proud of myself when I mastered the beginner exercises and moved on to the intermediate level. After a few months of steady practice, I am now attempting to master the advanced practice rhythms. This DVD sets realistic learning targets, and helps the viewer acquire the technical skills needed to achieve them.
There is a lot of practical instruction and supplemental information on this DVD that makes it an overall great purchase. If you're serious about developing your skills on the djembe, this instructional DVD is a great addition to your learning resources.
