Rhythmic Notation
These sheets are the same as the ones used in Wade’s class. They have been transcribed by Wade and represent the rhythms as taught by the various Djembe masters that Wade has studied with. You will need Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your computer to view these files.
Djembe, Percussion from West Africa
This is a great book by Ibro Konate and Sylvia Franke. 126 pages filled with rhythmic transcriptions, breaks, solos, and pictures. The 2 CDs and notations make it worth it alone.
Mali Weave
Tuning Your Drum
I use two different variations of the mali weave. One crosses the rope over to form diamonds and the other crosses the rope under. The variation I use for Djembe’s is the Over method.
