Free African Drum Lessons - Mix mix 4/4 + 6/8 Pulse
This is an easy exercise to help you get comfortable with playing rhythms where there is a cross-over between a pulse in 3s and a pulse in 2s. Getting started with this simple technique will open many possibilities to develop polyrhythmic patterns and help you get to grips with djembe and dundun rhythm arrangements where the two pulses can be felt simultaneously.
Sidiki’s band, featuring vocalists, instrumentalists, and drummers, added a unique flavour to our workshops, creating a mesmerizing blend of rhythms and melodies. His dedication to showcasing African culture extended beyond music, with enlightening excursions and festival experiences that gave us a deeper understanding of the community.
The course far exceeded expectations, thanks to Sidiki’s commitment to authenticity and punctuality. I am eager to share the rich music and insights gained with the schools, businesses, and community groups I work with back home. This experience has been truly unforgettable, shaping my perspective on music and culture in profound ways.
