Beginners' djembe - Lesson 6 - Slap technique without pain

In this lesson you will learn the very important technique of how to create the slap sound on the djembe - without the bruises!

Steve Rivers and the Unbeatable Energy team have been teaching and inspiring drum players for over 20 years. Through African drumming and percussion workshops and events, Steve and his team have unlocked the undiscovered creativity and rhythm in thousands of adults and children from evening classes and schools to corporate events across the world.

These instructional videos provide helpful tips, essential technique, and practise rhythms to support your playing. There is no substitute for playing the djembe live with others.To book a session, or find out more about Unbeatable Energy and Steve Rivers, please get in touch.

Big news – the ❤ “Thanks” button is now live on the channel!
If you’re enjoying the video and want to support what I’m doing, you can now leave a Super Thanks by clicking the heart icon with a dollar sign underneath the video. (If you're on a desktop, it is in a drop-down if you click the three dots to the right of the thumbs.)
It’s a great way to help me keep making videos (and maybe upgrade from my iPhone setup one day!).

Thanks for being part of the groove – every bit of support means a lot!
