In this djemb solo Famoudou Konat showed a way of playing a dubble role (roulement) in phrases 4,5,6,7 and 8; Its a very difficult technique. Of cours you can replace the dubble roulements by single ones, but remind that the placing of the hands changes after that. The number of times to play the solo prases is only a suggestion. The soloplayer is free to experiment with own creativity. Djemb solo phrase 1(2x) TTSS r l r l SSTTSSB r l r l r l r S S r l
