The sounds? Gun, Go, Pa. - Djembe patterns
are mostly made up of three tones, although many more are possible
and are used by advanced players. Different phonetic systems are
used to speak the tones, but the most popular one over here in
the States is Gun, Go, Pa, the one Baba O. uses, and variations.
PA(the slap), GO(the
