Boom Ka Ka Boom Ke Ke Boom

Clive here! This week I bought a Djembe drum! For over a year I have been going to irregular drum circles. Both Tracey and I camped last year at one of these drum circles. They are a lot of fun.
The Djembe drum comes from west Africa and is headed by goat skin or cow, mine is cow as it produces nice high pitched tones. There are three main tones on the Djembe, bass, rim & slap notes. It's the very complex rhythm patterns that make the drum come alive. When drumming in circles we drum to polyphonic rhythms. I have drummed rhythms from Ghana, Guinea & Sierra Leone amongst others! It's not everybody's cup of tea but I happen to like it. Shown below is a picture.
