Can anyone help me read djembe music?
I'm playing percussion in Shrek and although I've been playing percussion for decades I've always shied away from drums and Shrek has a good deal of hand drumming. I've played basic conga and bongo rhythms, but djembe and dumbeck is where I'm getting stumped. I've tried to look up how to read djembe music, but I can't find anything that explains it on a multi-lined staff. I think I understand the different hits (bass, tone, and slap) and that you rest when it's just a note stem, but the music will have 3+ different notes plus slaps and I'm confused to what note translates to each type of hit and where I would hit on the drum. Can anyone help explain this to me or make a staff key? Thank you!
*this is for a community theatre and I will be using whatever instruments the high school has. I don't know if they have a djembe or dumbeck and might end up playing on a conga or something.
