African Drumming Workshops Hanoi

We've had four fantastic drumming sessions so far. Hanoians have answered our djembe call and are coming out on a Tuesday night to enjoy African rhythms.

For over a year Chris and I have been learning how to drum with two excellent professional drummers in Hanoi. Cedric and Sebastien both played and learned djembe with Mamadi Nyasuma in Africa. And we've slowly and patiently learned a whole host of rhythms.

The idea came about because we simply
wanted people to come over and play drums, and now we know a whole group of people who are interested in playing loud beats!

We hold the sessions at Chris' place. His neighbors don't mind!

We've had Vietnamese, foreigners and everyone in between come to visit. We drum for two hours and use the first hour as a way to teach some of the basic djembe beats (for absolute beginners). Then, the beats combine and we have a massive jam! Hehe, learning how to listen to each other!

So come and visit! You don't need to know any rhythms, we aren't sure of most of them ourselves!
Bring: a drum if you have one, a tough pair of hands and a desire to beat the drum loud

Come one come all :)
