Fundamental Djembe SOLOS gives you patterns, riffs and phrases to help your solos sound fantastic. Learn universal elements you can combine in an infinite variety of arrangements and sequences. All the information is presented in musical call-and-response, play-along format.

- 11 tracks of call & response djembe patterns to help you sound like a pro.

- 1 performance track is an inspirational demo of all the material.

- 1 track is your practice area: full accompaniments for your experimenting.

The entire CD is call-and-response riffs for you to play with, and designed to be as educational as it is enjoyable. All the tracks have the lead djembe, accompanied by bells and dunun (bass drums), and many of the tracks also have accompanying djembe patterns so you can practice playing your leads within a full ensemble.

Each of the solo phrases are demonstrated at a moderate tempo, then played again at faster tempos, enabling you to learn and practice at the speed that is best for you.

From now until completion, I want feedback from players of all levels of experience. The more test drivers, the better. Please join the Mailing List at the top of this page, so I can send you some of the tracks before the CD is released. Once you have a chance to try the play-along format, please tell me what worked for you, and p-l-e-a-s-e offer any suggestions you may have to make it better…
