"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."

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!
Hi
Alejo, I actually have been meaning to email you for
a week now1! 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. I think you did an excellent
job of producing it and it will be of great help to
my skill development! Many thanks it came quite quickly
and when I finally figured out how to
play it on my computer I was thrilled!
Hello Alejo.
I have sold a few so far. I imagine it will pick up
though. I think it is a great dvd.... I think you have
perfected the DVD method of learning African music.
I would be more than interested in buying any other
DVDs you guys make. I only wish you had a series of
5 or 6 different dvds to choose from. Anyways I am sure
we will be doing business for a long time.
Alejo,
Thanks for keeping up with me on this one. I have checked
the dvd and I liked it alot. I am interested in carrying
it as well....
First
....BRAVO !!! Nice job!!! Haven't sold any yet but my
community has been eyeing them..... We put the DVD in
the machine, and it arrives at the main menu..... Nice
