Discover Drumming Team Building
Drumming is a rhythmic expression of emotion and an expression of life. Nowhere is this more evident than in drums that are played with one's own hands. West Africa drums allow anyone to experience the joy of expressing themselves in music.
These West Africa drums, known as Djembe Drums, have been a traditional bongo drum used in Africa for hundreds of years. This goblet shaped, vertically oriented drum is very easy to play, even if the player has no previous drumming experience. A Djembe is tuned through a series of tightened ropes that stretch down along the side of the drum's body.
A Djembe gives a resonant tone that can be altered based on what part of the hand strikes it as well as the location of the strike. From such a seemingly simple instrument, a wide variety of sounds and timbres can be created.
For the professional, a West Africa drum can serve as a perfect compliment to whatever other percussion instrument he uses during his daily performances. Professional musicians who play folk based music will often make use of a Djembe drum in their recorded and live performances and these drums have been used by bands as diverse as the Beatles, U2, Queens of the Stone Age, The Grateful Dead and many more.
Travelling and street semi-professional performers that play mostly acoustic and folk based music will appreciate the ease of transportation and set-up that West Africa drums provide. The rich sound of the drum ensures that it will be heard in almost any public venue.
For the amateur, a West Africa drum can provide a gateway into the world of rhythm in a way that does not break the bank or take up an inordinate amount of space. This type of drum is also not as jarringly loud as a traditional drum set which is ideal for those living in apartments and smaller houses.
For teachers of music, the West Africa drum can bring the joy of music into the more rhythmically inclined of students. Introducing West African drums to a lineup of other simple to use instruments can build up teamwork and cooperation among students of any age and skill level.
The myriad of uses for a Djembe has made it a very popular and highly sought after instrument. Those looking to buy West Africa drums can find high quality models at very affordable prices through reputable e-commerce websites that can ship the drums directly to any doorstep.

Napolitano Timballo - Recipe
Timbale
Timbale is a favorite in southern Italy and an easy dish to make once you have prepared the sauce and noodles. I recommend the Botticelli's rich Italian tomato sauce along with fresh spinach pasta. You can use store-bought pasta and sauce but you will never have the taste of true Italy. So please make the pasta and sauce if you decide to make this dish.
Ingredients (5 to 7 servings):
- 24 slices of fresh spinach pasta cut into 3" x 5" rectangles
- 1.5 to 2 cups of the Botticelli rich Italian tomato sauce depending on how much tomato taste you want (I suggest you try 1.5 cups on your first try)
- 15 oz of ricotta cheese
- ½ pound mozzarella cheese sliced or grated
- 3 mild Italian sausage links
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Preparation
Cut the pasta into 24 slices each 3" x 5".
Spinach pasta cut
Boil a few quarts of salted water with a little olive oil and cook the pasta for about 6 minutes or until al dente. You can remove the pasta from the water with a skimmer/ladle after it has cooked. Place it on a dry-clean towel.
Meanwhile… Remove the skins from the sausage links, crumble into a frying pan, and brown. Drain and combine in a food processor with the ricotta cheese, tomato sauce and salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients.
In the blender
The cheese filling
Layers
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of a baking dish (approximately 10" x 14" and about 3" deep). Lay the rectangular pasta slices on the bottom and top with the cheese filling. Add mozzarella cheese slices on top of the filling. Repeat by making another layer with the pasta, filling, and mozzarella. You will probably end up using 3 pasta slices – make sure the last pasta rectangle has filling and mozzarella on top of it. You should have 8 of these rectangles in the baking dish.
Ready for the oven
Perfecto
I like to finish the dish off by putting two pieces of the Italian sausage that was cooked in the tomato sauce on top of each rectangle. Sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
Enjoy.

Help with my djembe (african drum)?
Does anyone have some good beats I could use? For instance (just a guess) : O O O S S O R R O S?
Well, with your open, open, open slap, slap, open, roll, roll, open slap, you'd need to put the rests and spaces in there.
There are many rhythms you can play on djembe - I played congas (timables, sound-effects, etc.), but you can play some of the same rhythms on Djembe, just using the one drum.
I'm not certain if you're looking for jazz beats for the Djembe? Which would be interesting, or Salsa, Merengue, Soca, African Rhythms (which would be native to the Djembe). If I knew, I'd check out some rhythm patterns for you.
Do you read regular music at all?
Here is a page of bunches of Djembe rhythms:

I'll come back later to see what exactly style of music you're looking to play on your Djembe!
