RE: DJEMBE !!!
yeah, thats the thing that makes it so superb, you get facking huge bass in the middle, and timbale like rang-a-dang on the rim... plus in the countryside they are audible for about a mile or more... that 'Saa' sample is toilet tho, doesnt show the djembe's quality at all... well lame..... actually, the best djembe's i've ever seen and played are made by a brit living in mid-wales... he makes 'em by hand traditional way, but uses british woods like sycamore & ash... fuck, the fattest i EVER played with the biggest most controlled bass, and the finest most gorgeous treble-end, i played one at his workshop and the windows nearly fell out when i went for the bass notes i swear !!!... and man, i've played hundreds of them, but he charges like 300 quid a drum which was out of my price range when i met him, he also makes real Conga sets with tension pegs etc... i'll post up some cool samples soon
