While we're on the subject - anyone know a good book or place to go 
online for hand drum patterns? I have a djembek (brass bodied hand drum 
with a head about 25 cm in diameter) which I want to learn to play 
properly. I bought "The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary", which is good as 
far as I can see but really meant for drum kits, so I'm having to adapt 
the patterns. I'd like something meant specifically for this kind of 
drum, or maybe for the bigger wooden djembes that are quite common.
