Drumming on the Djembe!

Joined my Holistic Mamas group for a drumming session, and oh my goodness, it was FUN! The Djembe is a drum that originates from West Africa and our drumming group was led by the wonderful drumming intructor, Mae, in her gorgeous home. She promptly taught us the 3 base notes for the djembe-bass, tone, and slap. I couldn't get the slap quite down with my fingers, and after following Mae's lead (and us feeling like we were playing the old Simon, game that I played as a child, and one mama commented she had deja vu of Step class) within minutes, our hands were dancing on the drums and we were making music. Even Yvonne got to join in on the drumming fun! Since I didn't turn on my flash and there was tons of movement in low lighting conditions, my photos are blurry, but I think you can feel the energy. I am happy to have found this circle of women.
