A good web site by a true lover of Djembe that contains a great deal of resources including technique, rhythms and history.
Rhythm patterns are often difficult
to remember, and even more difficult to read.
PercussionStudio solves these problems with its simple rhythm notation
system that
lets you easily transcribe rhythms. It can play multiple instrument
voices simultaneously,
and each track is mutable so you can play along and learn individual
parts.
The program comes with a set of standard rhythms, and you can add your
own instruments.
It provides functions for automatic handset notation. You can also use
Percussion Studio
as a rhythm sampler with WAV files. The program allows simultaneous
playing and editing,
and plays note changes immediately. About 170 percussion instruments for
download available.
