"The popularity of The Bongo Book in addition to the high demand for resources on bongos prompted this second and more advanced book on bongo drumming. This follow-up reveals that the passion for the bongos is as great now as it was in the 1960's. Now, two more generations are discovering the joy of bongo drumming. What was lacking in the three decades were resources, a network and teaching material to guide students and hobbyists in the exploration of this fascinating instrument. The advent of the Internet with its web sites, newsgroups, and faster communication along with the flame and revival of bongo mania. Bongo Drumming is simply another step in the educational development of the bongos and an attempt to increase the awareness of this seemingly simple, yet immensely complex instrument. 2 CD's included."

This book is a complete, step-by-step course for beginners on how to play djembe. Right from the start you'll be learning interlocking parts for some of the most popular West African rhythms: Kuku, Djole, Kassa, Madan, Suku, Sunguru Bani, and Tiriba. While you learn the patterns, you'll also learn how to make each of the basic strokes--bass, tone, and slap--with proper playing technique. We use life-like illustrations to show how each stroke looks from the outside and give detailed descriptions to explain how each stroke feels from the inside. The book also has easy-to-read box charts and a friendly writing style that creates the feel of private lessons.
