Some basic patterns for the beginner Djembe player to practice. I made these so anyone busy learning this drum can play along with others without having to feel overshadowed by better players.

Thanks Matt,your a good teacher. Good basic beats I learn from watching you. Keep up the good work and know lots of folks are learning from your vids
I appreciate that!
This is so awesome! I have always wanted to learn how to play the djembé. But now I've watched your videos I immediately want to buy one and play!
Super cool!
Matt you are a wonderful teacher! Recently started hand drumming (Minnesota!) and practice along with you every time I practice. Sincerely I thank you for sharing with us!
You are so welcome, thank you.
Thanks for the share - so easy to learn with your excellent progressions!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your videos - so much fun - I feel like I'm playing with you! - you make it really easy - thanks!
Thank you!
Bought two of these bad boys and practiced all your patterns. Huge help during quarantine!
Great to hear that!
Got my new 14” Djembe , having fun and enjoyed learning the patterns , it’s real sense of achievement when I am trying to get the same tone as yours
That is really good to hear! Thank you.
thanks so much for these excellent videos! Getting back into drumming and this is SO helpful!
My pleasure!
Fabulous Matt, I teach DrumBeat to children on Phillip Island Victoria, Australia. Your rhythms are a gift. Thank you for sharing. Such good teachings, unselfishly shared by a master drummer. :)
+Phillip Island Skincare Ah so good to hear that, enjoy!
so you are actually all around the world with these as I use them in Ireland :) :)
Maggie OSullivan Graham Very cool
Great ones to practice. Thanks Matt x
You're so welcome.
Its really great. Thanks alot.
Respect , keep the good work up and make more please
Thank you very much for these videos.i am new and love practice your patterns. Djembe is so relaxing to play.cheers from Sue in Hervey Bay Australia 🙂
Glad you like them! Thanks for your comment. All the best!
I started drumming Nov 2014 ...it's great and lots of fun...I drum with some free style rs anywhere from 5 to 12 people once a week...this week we are asked to bring a new pattern I've chosen your #3 groove...thanks for your sharing the grooves....
+Rick Hogg That's really good, be encouraged to keep drumming and have fun with it!
Technically, it doesn't take long to learn both video's in addition to the 3rd one. At least that's how it went with me. Now I will add these rhythms to my drum circle. Thanks Matt for sharing. Do you anticipate another series of video's? I hope so.
+Nahulanham That's great. Perhaps later this year.
If this is beginner's, what would you consider intermediate or advanced?
+Nahulanham The use of slaps with proper technique and accuracy. Speed. More 'triplet'-feel patterns. I purposely left out slaps out of these vids as they are a challenge for the beginner drummer.
Thanks a lot man! These are very helpful to me!
Glad to hear it!
Hello Matt, I love your very helpful patterns and have made great progress since I started playing Djembe for about 4 weeks, I would appreciate it, if you continue publishing some new patterns.
Very helpful, thank you very much and greetings from Germany.
I wish I had time...but the new rhythms are coming!
great videos, thanks!
You're welcome.
Fantastic, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Love from India!

***** You're welcome
Top stuff man, thanks for sharing , so cool."...
+Luis Andres Glad you like!
Awesome tutorial , like the one before :)
Thanks a lot!
I really appreciate the video. Thank you so much. The alternations of #12 are so cool. But I'm such a beginner I actually don't know how it happened..
Glad it was helpful!
Most excellent thank you 👌👌🙏🙏
Most welcome 😊
Thank you for the lessons. My son is practicing your lessons. (he is blind and autistic)
That is so cool to hear. I'd love to know how he does!
@@MattHains I have uploaded all his videos to his facebook page. You can watch on his page: Varun Chandrasekar - Kannan. The latest one is this: facebook.com/watch/?v=724421715115666
That is fantastic, I have watched and commented! :) Thank you for sharing!
Awesome.
TNKS !
Very nice thankyou sir
Most welcome
Note to self : Pattern 11 @ 5:30
Love these videos. Only comment as someone trying to follow along is that a shot from the top to be able to see the pattern would be easier for me- a complete and total beginner. I find myself not using the right hands and trying to transpose- is that the right or left hand. Otherwise- these are awesome!
Thanks, I will consider that for my next set of videos (one day!)
thanks for sharing i love this videos i am teaching my students out of this lessons & have you tagged on it, hope we chat soon
Awesome!
Awesome! Thanks! :)
Thank you
Seriously helpful for me!! I'm a free form drummer and have a hard time playing rhythms. Thanks again! :)

Matt, these are the best videos for beginner djembe players on the internet. What are the chances of getting just a few more patterns ....?
+Jennie Green How I would love to find time...! :)
Thanks sir
No problem!
I just think long hair makes you more handsome😊. Thank you a lot coz I 've learned much!
I like number 12 I think I'm going to practice that one.
Go for it!
So great! But for me it would be better if all bars were played slowly before and in an extra video at faster speed.
danke!
Thank you too.
Wow super super too much amezing
Thank you
Could you advise me of what size and any specs etc of a djembe drum to start with for an adult beginner.
Matt i am inspired by your technique and hope to one day be able to play well.
Regards to you and all the.
Mich S 12 Inch head, tightly stretched skin should be a good start!
hallo matt. i'm ucok from Indonesia. If we want to play funk music, so which one patterns can we use ? thank you very much
Follow your heart and the right rhythm will come.
❤️❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳
Matt - for the two variations on pattern #12, do you have the patterns written (or transcript)? I really like them. Thanks.
+Jaime Will have to look... mail me on matt.hains@gmail.com to remind me!
Hi Matt, what is you intro music ? This sounds really good for jammin' or just listening and I wish i could discover this band and more of the same style. Thanks in advance.

I dig these patterns! You come up with these?
Yes I do!
MUY BUENO , SUBE PARA PRINCIPALMENTE
Thank you very much
More videos pleeeeeeeze!
Can you make more time! :)
@@MattHains oh well...i can see how busy you are....3 years to reply to my comment 😂😂😂
I'll see you again in 3 years! :) Hahaahahaa
Ugh. Seeing this videos make me want to impulse buy a djembe.
So what's stopping you? :)
@@MattHains a bigger goal is holding me back. :( one day for sure though I'd add to my collection of instruments.
keren
Hello Matt! How do you do the Slap S, please? Is it exactly the same as Tone T, just you hit stronger? Or is there something more/else?
Thank you so much for the tuto! Playing drums brings so much joy!
Upd: perhaps anyone can leave here a link to a tutorial how to play a slap?
The slap is definitely not hitting harder. It's a technique that is very difficult for beginners to learn. It is best taught to you by someone, face to face, who has experience and can slap properly.
@@MattHains thank you Matt!
What is the name of the music introducing the video, please? I have been looking for this style for a long time without success. Thk you in advance for your answer.
Monette Marino-Keita - the album is Coup d'Eclat
Matt Hains. Thx you very much (Beebop)
Hi Matt. Love your videos. Trying to move along but Pattern #8: B - - - | T T T T | - - B - | - B - - has me a bit confused. When I watch you it looks more like BBB - | T T T T . What am I missing?
Hi there, I have not looked at it for some time. Will have a look when I get a chance. I hope I didn't miss something either!
YES !!! Slow... give us time to get it.. no talk talk talk,.... YAY !!!
Yup! :)
What rhytms are you playing?
Mostly whatever I could make up that would be very easy for a beginner to follow and play along with others.
Super super super super super
Thank you
7 and 3 are the same right? Just different starting point.
+santiago2212 hm. not sure about that.
definitely!
I've been wondering my ass off :D thought I'm stupid but it's the same
Perhaps, have not looked at this for some time. But even so, a different starting point on any rhythm has a completely different feel when combined with other drum parts.
I'm curious, what teacher taught you these rhythms?
I've been playing djembe for almost 15 years, 4 years consistently under my current teacher (who is actually in the video of your Senegal trip), and
the closest thing I know to them are warm up exercises.
I'm not trying to be critical but you may want to clarify what rhythms your teaching.
Overall I really like how you presented your videos. I would just suggest you talk or list more about what your playing.
Again only a suggestion!
Hi there, these are not patterns taught to me. Hence no talking and no names of rhythms. I created these rhythms for absolute beginners to just have something to grab onto to be able to play with others and enjoy the drum. I did this on purpose as so many beginners get put off because of all the "technique" talk etc.. I just wanted them to have a basic pattern they could play and enjoy and feel happy when playing.
Oh ok I see, thanks for clarifying!
No problem, you're very welcome.
are you going to do more for beginners... ?
Rastafarian Wish I had the time! :)
:( awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
In the last variation did you mute the slap at the end?
+Rishab Mazumdar I don't think so
Then what is that technique called where you were slapping and holding the center of the drum simultaneously?(In pattern 12)
Simply a muted tone. Keep one hand on the centre of the drum to mute the skin and play a nice crisp (muted) tone.
Thanks Matt!
More I want more 😜
Please send me TIME! :)
Some patterns were repeated
I don't think so.
Please, don't go to fast, show it clearly and slow.
I'll try!
