Welcome, I am Josephus Bull, your drumming teacher on this website. I am from Sierra Leone and live in The United Kingdom. I started playing drums with friends around my neighbourhood when i was living in Sierra Leone . My inspiration came from my Uncle who was a master drummer. I have studied African drumming in University in Ghana, Gambia, Guinea, and Senegal.
I will teach you today how to play the sabar drum, a traditional West African drum that originates from Senegal. This drum is wonderful because it helps you learn the skills to play any kind of drum, and play two, three or four drums together. I have taught many master djembe drummers how to play the sabar.
This is the introduction to my Beginner Series of drumming lessons
