Hello there once more, and welcome again to the Blergh. So, today's been a bit of a rather full on week, so I believed I would certainly do something a bit different, and also hopefully a little quicker. To take a break from the practise workouts and do something various. A few of you have actually asked me regarding the djembe stand that I have actually been utilizing in these video clips, so I believed I 'd chat concerning that, and I. likewise intended to simply give you some pointers, or just give you a walkthrough video clip, on just how. to connect a band with your djembe if you intend to play standing. We'll see just how that goes ... First points initially, djembe stands. It's coming near the holiday, as well as. the exploitation as well as consumerism of commercialism remains in complete trip, so I believed, 'what much better. method to get entailed than buying drum gear?' It's one method to deal with it. So this stand that I have actually been utilizing is made. by a firm called Gibraltar.From my experience playing drum kit as well as making use of. drum equipment as well as stuff, and additionally, when I acquired this stand I tried a couple of stands and. looked around, Gibraltar equipment is normally really good as well as this was the best, heaviest,. sturdiest stand I can find. So when I acquired this, I got it from a songs. shop here in Melbourne, I assume it had to do with $400, yet if you reside in the US-- one great. point concerning living in the United States, perhaps the just advantage about staying in the United States-- is,. these stands sell on Amazon.com for, I believe, regarding $130, and you can get them delivered to. you free.I've consisted of a link to where these stands. are on Amazon in the notes for the episode, and also there should be something hovering around. on the screen as well. Full internet scam disclosure, if you so click. on the web links, they're affiliate links, so if you get one from Amazon.com making use of that web link. I get a couple of bucks, I think, like, $2 or something. So, I 'd always recommend purchasing from your. regional music shop, if you have one. Also, offers you an opportunity to in fact experiment with. the stand in person. But if you are going to get it on Amazon,. support me! So for those of you not in the US, Amazon. will not ship you this stand, so-- I believe even if it's too hefty-- so I looked. up a couple of other options, to provide you extra choices ... So initial choice is, you can buy simply the top. You can get just the leading part on Amazon for,. I believe it's $80, and after that you might just go to a music store as well as get them to market you. Anything with the very same diameter of the stand,. Like, the bottom part of this stand is really. the truly heavy little bit. So if you' r preparation to travel with your. stand, especially if you're flying on planes, having the ability to get a lighter bottom fifty percent actually. can be an useful thing.So, even if you remain in the US, that might. be roadway worth taking, simply because, yeah flying especially, the weight can really accumulate. The other option, particularly if you like. the concept of a lighter stand, this very same business, Gibraltar, additionally makes a light version of the. stand. So, this is called the strong stand, I. think the other one's called 'light task' stand, or a few other person named Judy. And it's got a slightly different design,. and it has to do with 3.5 Kg lighter, or 7 pounds, I functioned out, if you remain in America, as well as. I believe the lighter stand has to do with $100 on Amazon. So, it's a bit less costly in addition to being. lighter, to ensure that might be a good choice for you, also if you're in the US, again.So if it seems
great to you to have a more affordable. or a lighter stand, I would advise that one. I attempted a bunch of various stands, like,. I picked the hefty one because it suited what I required, however it's about 10Kg, or perhaps. much more I assume, so, if you're mosting likely to travel in any way with your drum, and even if you're. mosting likely to simply be lugging to and also from your car, or on public transport, something like. that, yeah, possibly the lighter stand's the way to go. To ensure that's djembe stands. In the meanwhile, before you've obtained a djembe. stand, if you want play standing up-- and I make certain you have actually seen it if you have actually looked. at video clips-- you can also simply utilize a piece of material to make a band around your drum. and also sort of harness it to yourself. You can make, kind of, pre-made harnesses,. with cushioning and also stuff-- I've never ever actually tried them, yet you're welcome to attempt them. out.What I was
mosting likely to reveal you today was just how,. simply, you know, one method to make a band affix to your drum so you can play standing. And there are multiple methods of doing this,. this is simply one method I'm mosting likely to show you. And I'm not quite certain exactly how I'm mosting likely to. go filming this, so, let's see how we go, detailed ... First, you need a piece of product to use. as a strap-- on this drum I have actually already connected a band, however, that's what I have actually. got. It's a number of inches thick-- I would certainly. advise getting, the thicker the far better, 4 inches or so would be great, like a seat belt. width.The thicker the
strap is, it simply indicates it. will not cut right into your shoulders as much. If you obtain a slim strap it'll actually injure. you and reduce into you, which is usually not good. Places to try and obtain a band-- I think. I obtained this band from simply, like, a stitching store. So if you've got somewhere that markets material. and also points like that, they'll probably have the ability to assist you out. As well as, in terms of length, a general guideline is. you want as long as twice your elevation. So, basically, if you obtain a 4 meter band,. or a 13 foot, band, that should function for practically anybody. Yeah, or two times your arm period, that's the. same thing.So the primary step is, to string your strap.-- so your band ought to be just a big lengthy item of material, this one's already knotted. in, so I'm simply going to have to claim ... if I turn this around. So, you simply loophole it via the strings,. the upright strings, the tightening up strings of your drum. I wish you can see that. Loop it via, as well as generally you intend to. loop it through the upright, with a couple of the upright ropes, and also you wish to do. it so the-- you should have a line down your drum, you probably have a line down your. drum-- that line's the goat's back, that sacrificed itself for your musical pleasure. And also, as a general regulation, you want the back. to be decreasing the drum, like, if you're playing from right here, the line ought to be directing. away from you.And the reason for that is, the spinal column's. the thickest part of the goat skin, and also if you're hands are playing on either side. of it, they're playing on similarly thick parts of the skin, whereas if you're playing. right here, or here, the thickness of the skin may vary. However if that kind of doesn't make good sense,. or seems like sounds, it also simply looks far better if the line's going straight, so. do that.OK, so you have actually threaded the band via. the strings, and pulled it through, and after that what you wish to do is link it. So, I've already linked this set-- if you. want a knots lesson, I'm certain there's a channel for you on YouTube, this one isn't. it-- I've already connected this one and I do not even recognize just how ... So, best of luck with binding it. But you simply desire to knot it with each other so you. have a loop. And also the loophole is just the band going in a. loop, and also it strings in between the vertical ropes on your drum. Currently, this following bit, it's most convenient if you. put the drum on the ground, so I'm going to place the drum on the ground and afterwards move. the camera around, and after that, move the camera around, and afterwards, see if I can show you just how. to do it ... OK, so I have actually altered the electronic camera around-- what. I'm going to attempt as well as do, perhaps the sound will not be excellent for this, but we'll see. exactly how it goes.So, if you've obtained the drum on the flooring,. as well as you have actually got your band knotted through it like this. Initial point you wish to do is loop the strap. over the drum, so it sort of hinges on the lower bit. So I'll just reveal you what I indicate. So, this little bit comes right here, and afterwards comes. underneath the drum. So, all I've done, and also you could do this. with the drum standing up. So if the drum's standing, what you're. doing is, the loophole comes with on this side, and I'm knotting it over the other side.So, I'm passing the loophole over, around that. side of the drum, and afterwards kind of capturing it, and afterwards putting it back over. So now it gets on the ground. As well as as soon as it's on the ground-- so it should. look kind of something like that, where you have, can you see that? Yes you can. So, you have the loop going via the band. on your drum, as well as then you kind of have 2 takes care of right here on the side. And also currently the primary step you intend to do is bring. Like that. And then, if you type of cross them under. each other like that, you'll see a little hole show up here. And also then, as you extend that apart-- so. I'm holding this with each other as well as stretching it apart-- you'll see a triangular forms.So, that triangle is where you place your head. So what I'm going to do currently is shot and also program. you with my hand, so you're head comes in via here. If that makes any kind of sense. So it appears like this, it must appear like. that, see exactly how I've got a triangle in the center? In right here. This is the triangular. That's where my head goes. So currently I'm mosting likely to zoom out a little bit and program. you placing the drum on.So my head experiences there , as well as my arms.
go through these two side openings. Let's see if that makes any type of feeling. Hey there. OK. So, I have actually got the drum in front of me, I have actually. crossed my strap over, I have actually got my triangular there, I'm going to put my head via. the triangular, like this ... Head with the triangle, as well as raise it up. So, that's my head via the triangular,. and also you see, I've got these 2 little bits on the side, that's where my arms go. Via there. And afterwards, I'm standing up with my drum ... There you go. So, if you're drum's also high or too reduced,. what you need to do is simply either provide it a lot more length, or much less size. So if it's also reduced-- it'll most likely. be also reduced if you start with 4 meters-- just knot some more of the strap up, and also do the. same point. Maintain attempting it until you get it, approximately there. This is most likely a little high for me. Something like that. I'm mosting likely to put this off now. So, I really hope that worked.I do not understand just how good the noise's going. to be on this episode either, however, apologies if it's not fantastic. It may be a bit buzzy or something, yet. I'm sure you'll be alright. So you can use that strap strategy to, attach. yourself to your drum, both literally as well as spiritually. It was a little bit tricky to function out exactly how to express. it in a video clip, especially with the sort of limited configuration I'm making use of, however ideally that. made feeling. If you have any inquiries, or if anything. really did not make good sense, please simply get in touch with me and also allow me recognize, and I'll attempt and. aid. That's it for this week-- djembe stands. See you next week! Blergh.

First things first, djembe stands. This is called the hefty obligation stand, I. think believe other various other's called 'light dutyTask stand, or some other person named Judy. That's djembe stands. And after that, I'm standing up with my drum ... There you go. That's it for this week-- djembe stands.
