This instructional DVD is our best recommendation for a beginner-level
djembe player. It was inspired by Michael Taylor's experiences, observations
and insights as a teacher and student of the West African djembe drum.
You will develop traditional djembe technique and enhance your overall
experience in learning the tradition of the West African djembe drum.
"Everyone is a drummer," says Taylor, "when we are learning
how to drum, we are actually remembering how to drum." This djembe
