Summary of This Method
Designed to support the rise of the djembe in contemporary music, this book offers a groove bank intended to enrich your playing beyond traditional rhythms alone. You will find a wide range of solo patterns, organized through many modern influences (from Rock to Funk, including Reggae, Bossa, as well as Tribal and Techno atmospheres), while still giving significant space to the most common African grooves.
The goal is clear: to provide you with immediately usable ideas to bring rhythmic color and "percussion" energy to any musical context. To facilitate learning, even if you do not read music, a selection of grooves is presented in a way that can be seen and heard thanks to the included DVD. Finally, the last pages are dedicated to very common grooves to work on with musical sequences lasting two to three minutes: an excellent way to develop consistency, timing, dynamics, and endurance, while getting used to playing with realistic accompaniment.
