Our aim is to connect people with West African music and teach them how to play in a supported environment.

Facebook

Each class group has it’s own facebook group where students and teachers post material, videos and otherwise chat about goings on. It’s the best place for you to post any recording from class so that everyone knows what to practice! We also post information about upcoming workshops, retreats and specials. When you come to class, ask your teacher to invite you to the group. Like our main African Drumming page to keep your finger on the beat.

Learning Resources

The African Drumming Instructional Pack
Available as digital download, USB format, or CDs format.

A booklet and 3 CD set which break down rhythms set-by-step so that you can learn full arrangements. The Pack boasts a lifetimes worth of material. Now in its third edition, the Pack has been expanded and reformatted. The rhythms covered here are popular in our School of Djembe, so it’s a great way to pick up some rhythms which are in common circulation.
