Build rock-solid timing, controlled hands, and real confidence in 6 weeks, using a system designed specifically for djembe players who feel stuck.

RUNS 3 MAY 2026 - 15 JUNE 2026 - Registration closes 3 May 2026:

If you’ve been playing djembe for a while but still feel inconsistent in a drum circle, you’re not alone. 

You show up, you play the same patterns, and somehow nothing really changes. 

Your timing feels loose. 

Your hands don’t always do what you want. 

You wouldn't dare play a solo. You leave sessions feeling, “I should be better than this by now.” 

It's frustrating, because you’ve already put in a lot of time. 

 Here’s what most people don’t realise: 

You can't learn the djembe in a drum circle.

It's too fast. 

It's too loud. 

It doesn't stop. 

And that is not your teacher's fault. 

In the traditional way of learning djembe, you jump straight in and play a simple part of a rhythm in a group for hours and hours, sometimes the entire weekend, to hone your skills.

But you don't have the entire weekend. You play for an hour or two, once a week at your drum circle.

So instead of improving, your drum circle becomes like Groundhog Day. 

That’s why you feel stuck. Not because you can't learn to drum. Because no-one has shown you a system. 

Inside this program, we fix that. 

What this actually is 

A guided training system, not a sit-and-watch course. 

Each week we meet live on Zoom to check your progress, fix issues, and keep you moving forward. 

In between sessions, you’ll work on short, focused exercises designed to build proper control, timing, and confidence. 

You don’t spend hours watching videos. You learn the drill, then practice it properly, pushing your speed and consistency until it’s locked in. 

Everything follows a simple structure: control, timing, and then applying it in actual playing situations. 

To get results, you’ll need a minimum of 20 minutes a day. Consistency makes the difference. 

By the end, you’re not guessing anymore; you’re playing with clarity, confidence, and control. 

You'll follow a clear process to build your skills and then use them in your drum circle. 

It’s a simple plan for what to practice between sessions, so your playing moves forward and people say, ‘Wow, you’ve really improved.’

A 3-phase, 100% online system designed specifically for djembe players.

We rebuild your hands so that they actually do what you want. You’ll develop evenness, balance between hands, and clean bass, tone, and slap. 

We do this with adapted drum rudiments designed specifically for djembe. 

Most djembe players never do any of this. And that’s why most players plateau.

We install your internal timing so you stop chasing the beat. 

You’ll work on subdivisions, triplets, syncopation, and polyrhythms like 2 over 3 and 3 over 4. 

Instead of relying on other players to hold the rhythm together, you become the one holding it.

We take everything you’ve built and apply it to your drum circle where it actually matters. 

You’ll learn how to lock into the groove with others, enter rhythms and breaks cleanly, and play with confidence in real sessions. 

You’ll notice improvement after one week. After two weeks, your teacher will notice. After three weeks, the group will notice.

To get there you’ve got the following:
