popular Djembe Rhythms 2 CDROM is now available on DVD.

 Modern
Drummer Magazine, March 2004 issue:
"John Yost Teaches: West African
Rhythms is very interactive, with no frills. Yost is
selling steak, not the sizzle, and there's plenty to
learn here. Viewers are given choice of instrument (djembe
or dunun), rhythm, and speed. Wisely, the djembe sections
are seen from out front and from the player's view.
And the dundun section offers seperate parts for the
dundunba, sangban and kenkeni."
Arthur
Hull of Village Music Circles says:
"The format is par excellence! It is the most accessible
teaching tool ever encountered!"

Dear
Alejo, I received my eBay #2545117786: John Yost Instructional
Djembe DVD video and I am so happy with it! It is the
best djembe instruction I have ever seen. The DVD even
plays on my Macintosh computer. The beats John Yost
teaches he teaches so eloquently. The DVD left me drumming
on the counter, on boxes, on whatever is there. I left
you positive feedback. Thank you and John so very much!
I
think you have perfected the DVD method of learning
African music...
I
lOVE the DVD. It's such a great thing for me because
I haven't
had a regular teacher here and this will be my guide....
...great
job on the dvd; it is very impressive...
Again, this dvd is a great representation for these
rhythms; an easy
format for learning.

TESTIMONIALS
Here are the features that you
get on the DVD version:
- Easy navigation through the click of your
remote. Use your remote to find the rhythms
you want to play.
- Dundun videos are included. The dunduns are
played by John Yost. Like the djembe videos,
we have separate videos for the dundunba, sangban,
and kenkeni. Each part has SLOW and FAST versions
so you can easily follow John. 40 dundun videos
in all.
- Each rhythm part for the dundun and djembe
has notations below the videos. The notations
are easy to follow.
- The "Rhythm Info" screens give information
of the rhythm's origin and when it is played.
Information of when to play the part in relation
to the break is also included.
- All dundun videos have a djembe break that
pops up before the rhythm is played.
- Each rhythm part for the dundun and djembe
has notations below the videos. The notations
are easy to follow when playing the slow videos.
Play along with the fast videos.
- Each rhythm has a “MIXED” video.
We rendered all the video parts for the dundun
and djembe together in a multi screen video
and you will see how each part compliment each
other.
- In the “MIXED” videos, there are
separate audio tracks. One track has all the
audio of three djembes mixed. Another has each
part separated: the low djembe in the center,
the medium on the left channel and the high
on the right channel. This is true for the dundun
also. Sounds great with headphones.
