If you’re developing your djembe solo phrasing, this latest video is for you. It’s the second part of a growing sequence focused on solo structure and flow, and this time we’re diving into the 4-beat roll — a key technique that brings energy and movement to your playing.
Rather than just playing it fast, this lesson is all about how the roll sits within a phrase, how it connects with the groove, and how to practise it in a way that feels musical and satisfying. It builds directly on the swing Kassa-style rhythm we looked at last week.
I hope you enjoy exploring this new layer of solo phrasing. Let me know how you get on — and as always, happy drumming!
