I really like that groove and the whole bit. However, I don't want anything attached to my leg (or anything else for that matter). I like the thought of walking in, sitting down, playing the gig and walking out.

Looks to me like a Remo composite djembe, or something very similar.

Very cool jam.

I can't get to the video from my computer here, but I will say that they make some pretty huge djembes. Djembe ensambles have them in multiple sizes, and they get quite large. So, just becaues it's huge doesn't mean it's not a djembe.

This dude has a sweet groove going for him!! Loved the video. Looks like a mechanically tuned djembe to me.

That is a big Djembe. I saw shakerleg a couple of times when visiting my brother in NYC. I have his bussiness card. My brother bought one of his CDs for me for christmas. Cool stuff to listen to.

What does he have on his fingers? is it just some kind of tape?

The man has hands of steel :O

[JoeyMoon]

yeah, big djembe, it is mechanically tuned and most likely a synthetic skin. A few companies make them these days, a lot lower maintainence than the traditional djembe not least when you want to tune them.

they're good, but i can't help prefer the traditional style. Probably not for any good reason.

The tape on his hands is just a bit of support for his joints.

It does look like a Remo djembe. African dancers commonly wear those shakers on their ankles but it's good to see a drummer take advantage of them also.

Really good playing and a great fusion of trap set and ethnic percussion. Bongodoggie sometimes posts here and he has a similar setup, but without cymbals as I recall.
