Gentle Djembe for Beginners - DVD

If you’re a beginner who wants to learn to play powerful rhythms in a way that’s easy on your hands, this video is for you.

Watching it is like getting private Djembe lessons. Each of the seven step-by-step lessons on the DVD starts with me explaining a rhythm while I play it and ends with the whole class playing it, so the rhythm never stops. And each lesson has a matching play-along track.

Playing a Djembe should not be hard on your hands. This is the only DVD for beginning hand drummers—especially adult beginners—who want to experience the joys of playing djembe while going easy on their hands. Created by Alan Dworsky, the best-selling author of "How to Play Djembe" and two-time winner of DRUM Magazine’s readers’ poll for "Best Percussion Method Book."

Proper playing technique is covered in depth and African rhythms are adapted to a Gentle Djembe style, so that you can play safely and comfortably no matter what your age. And each lesson has a matching play-along track, making the DVD a complete learning tool.

Shot in gorgeous wide-screen format and endorsed by Arthur Hull as "the most non-intimidating way for beginning beginners to get started."

"Totally unique... the perfect choice for the new drummer!"
