I have always been fascinated by the drum, and particularly by the djembe. It has always been a mystery to me why it is not more popular in the United States. The drum has been around for thousands of years, and it is still being played today.
In the United States we have many different types of drums, but the most common are the marching type that you see at parades, or the jazz type that is played in the back yard. But there is another type of drum that I would like to discuss with you. The African djembe is the type of drum that is used in Africa.
The African djembe is made out of wood and is about two feet in diameter. The djembe is made from a variety of different woods, including the mahogany tree. This is the main reason why it is called the "African" djembe. There are other types of drums that are also made from mahogany, such as the kenken drum. The djembe has a very unique sound, and is often used in ceremonies.
When you look at the djembe you can see that it is shaped like a pear. This shape allows it to produce a very deep sound. When you strike the djembe you will hear a very low rumble. You will notice that the sound is produced by the djembe hitting the ground. The djembe is struck with a stick that is usually between three and four feet long.
There are a number of different ways that you can play the djembe. The djembe is often played in pairs, or in a circle. One person plays the djembe while the others play a rhythm. The djembe is also played in a solo fashion. This means that one person plays the djembe alone. The way that you play the djembe is determined by how fast you strike the djembe. You will find that the faster you strike the djembe, the deeper the sound will be.
The djembe is also played during special ceremonies. In Africa this type of drum is played during weddings and funerals. In fact, in some tribes, the djembe is the only instrument that is played during funerals. The djembe is played to bring good luck to the deceased.
