This You Tube Video has basic patterns that R.D.C. drummers know. We didn’t learn them here but in our lessons and community time. However, but this is a good resource for those starting out.
It would be a great idea to book a djembe lesson with Raven to review timing and note reading and review how to use your drum hands correctly.
RDC has our own names for the rhythms. When this video was viewed, it was easy hear and say oh this is the rhythm ” ” etc.
