i think i could play the djembe like the african guy did with the zebra hat i think i could play that but i wouldnt be able to play it with the drum sticks and i wont be able to play super fast but i would be able to if i practieced for like 3 hours a day.and i could be able to play it becasuse some times my dads friends come over and they play it.
ReplyDeleteI only like the last part of the clip it was ok I wasn’t really in to it but that’s my opinion other people might think it was cool or interesting I thought it people play African bongos but the only part I think Was the best was the solo part. The only reason I the solo part was cool because he kept on hitting it
ReplyDeleteThe other guy just hit and stopped.
I think that the djembe is a good instrument for songs that are not that long . I say this because it could only go so fast . It is not like a instrument that you could just hit it very slowly you would barely be playing it . You can still play it very slow if you are playing it with a band or other people . Yes I could probably learn to play the djende . In that video the person makes it look easy but I bet if you have no experience with playing any tipe of African drum that you use your hands with then you would have a very difficult time learning .
ReplyDeleteI think that if I practiced enough for a period of time that I would be able to play the djembe. I think it would be cool if I could play the djembe because then I could play any kind of drum. Playing it with sticks may be a little hard, but if I practiced it would be so cool to play.
ReplyDeleteno i dont think so because it looks like it was in a differt contry and it had a toatly differt beat they we do.and the guy that was playing it had kinda an acksent i like ho he add the songs one buy by one its vary cool. i like the 2nd Djembe better than the 1st one because the toon was higher and i liked it .i also like the other insterment that he was playing it sounded like a triangle i was cool
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is it really cool to hear and a good drum to play its sounds really cool its different from the reger drums by it sounds different from the regler.And its see more different them the regler drums they play it different buy two place they use there hands.The regler drums the use stiks to play it and all I want to say.
ReplyDeletei only liked the last part of the clip.the rest is ok i wasnt really into it but that is just my opinion other people might think that it was cool or interesting .i thought i thought when the people playing the bongos it was coll.but i think that the solo was the best part\. i think it was the best part because he kept hitting the drum.
ReplyDeletethe other guy just hit and stop.
Well my opinion of the person playing the Djembe is that it's pretty cool that it sounds more different from the regular kind of drums the we use in the United States, also the Djembe is played with your hands like the bongo's and maybe some other type of drum(s).No, I do not think that I can play the Djembe, the reason why is that it looks like you have to have a lot of practice to play it without looking that much at the instrument. Then the other reason is that I haven't heard that much about this instrument,and I don't really know what type of music it creates when you play it, and what the beat is mostly be not like the kind that I'm use to.
ReplyDeleteI think the man played an alsome song. After hearing the song I think he he did played the djembe. He was teaching us that four people can play at the same time without getting in trouble sounding weird. That like so cool with only on an drums.The Northern music sounds like that can be an alsome intertanment for the other people int their states. They can be an alsome thing to here when you have nothing to do it. I love the sound of the drums and who is playing the drums
ReplyDeletethis music is cool and the beat is nice with the jembe and the solo with constaned hitting and african music use is a lot of drums
ReplyDeletei think the djembe drum is awsome and it sounds cool.i like the way it shape.it looks a Y.it has a good beat it i love when its blended in with the other instruments it sounds awesome and it is like so cool and i have one.the big ones sound awesome and i want one.
ReplyDeleteI think I can play the drum because I can play really,really,really fast on the drumes.indien guy play the drums really fastbut he seamed to repeat him self on the drums.The first one was boring because he never played a song.that was just my opineon.
