Andy Gleadhill's Slap Djembe

Building on the award-winning Andy Gleadhill’s Slap Djembe, this this revised and expanded second edition includes all the hugely popular content from the original with some exciting additions, including three more compositions from Africa, a brand new Call and Response section to lift your performances, and a brief history of the djembe from its origins to its introduction into popular culture and education settings. It utilises an innovative, accessible notation system that works with any drum, but pairs especially well with Percussion Plus' Slap Djembes.

This essential classroom percussion companion was declared winner in the category of Outstanding Music Education Print Resource at the Music and Drama Education Awards 2024 held in London, UK.
