The low-cost online solution to the "can't remember that last rhythm" problem.
Kuku:
Last year we shot two of the djembe parts for Kuku, again without the benefit of Samba Sam.
Here they are
We often know them by the mnemonics "Sweet potatoe, I like potatoe" and "SuperMARKET Un-yuns"
There are of course formal dundun parts too, (though Drumstick Dave put on a good improv show there) and at least one other djembe part.
.
P.S. Convention used for Mnemonic above is: Large Bold = bass, SMALL CAPS= tone, and normal italics = slap.
This is a really brilliant way of showing rythms especially with mnemonics (sweet potato, etc). Maybe I could practise with my djembe in the library when I am on the internet - it could be a first?! All the best, Bongo Col aka The Man with the Stick.
ReplyDeleteMmm .....tricky word to spell, rhythm! Maybe beat better , or is it beet - The Beatles or The Beetles?! Bongo Col.
ReplyDeleteTune works just as well Bongo Col !!!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteAcky could you do a list of our names for the rythums and what they are really called ? Have you got a dog?
ReplyDeleteHave you got a dog is KPANLOGO ( see 3 March "Blast from the past - Kpanlogo").As for a list, I'm wondering if one of the new experimental sites will do that better - though I'm not sure it will.
ReplyDeleteEven videos don't make everything clear - it's often difficult to distinguish between tones and slaps (= medium & high tones) - some players illustrated aren't playing the difference. That's perhaps best left to live sessions.
ReplyDeleteTreat these videos just as an "aide-memoire"
