Here’s Simon breaking it down with a simple djembe rhythm tutorial. Every great rhythm is built from the ground up, and in this video, we walk through each layer step by step: 🔹 The foundation (bassline) 🔹 The body & warmth (tone) 🔹 The voice and flair (slap) Put them all together and boom — you have a full rhythm ready to go. This one’s all about making complex rhythms feel simple, so you can hear how each part fits in. #djembe #africandrumming #howtoplay #djembetutorial | African Drumming
