AKA, Have you got a dog?: Dunno I've forgotten already.
No more. These two videos of a pair of hands illustrate two of the basic djembe parts of Kpaanlogo. They are the hands of Keith from York, who led most of the Whitby Drummers sessions. This was, I think, the very last Whitby Drummers Session, at Sleights in November 2002.
Bit short? Well last October, when Samba Sam was away, we had a go at recording all 3 djembe parts of Kpanlogo, with a little big drum work thrown in. So you can now look at this when you forget. Many of us now have this on a CD, and any Eebydrummer can have the CD if can't access the internet.
Dundun parts not included here. (We didn't know about such things then, anyway.)
Tip of the day: Video too dark? Windows Media Player has a brightness control.
Its funny how djembe players always loose their heads when they're being filmed! lol x
ReplyDeleteThat's deliberate, so you can see the detail of the handwork.
ReplyDeleteOr am I missing the pun?
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemake up you own mnemonics but you could try:
ReplyDeletegreat big DOG - have you got a DOG?
and
scrambled EGGS- scrambled EGGS - scrambled EGGS, CUP O' TEA - scrambled EGGS.
to synchronise with the dogs, start the first time with the eggs (not scrambled)
i.e
eggs -scrambled eggs..
hey this is more like "Come dine with me"...??
The third part, that Djembe jess is playing is a rapid continuous "diddy-DUM diddy-DUM diddy-DUM diddy-DUM..." OR "cup o' RUM, cup o'RUM..." ?
