For artists, the metronome can be the most important practice tool to invest in. Besides helping you maintain your tempo and rhythm, when used effectively, a metronome can bring discipline and structure to your practice sessions. There are several techniques you can employ with a metronome to achieve this.
Setting goals
One popular way to structure your practice session with a metronome is by using it to set tempo goals for challenging passages. The metronome serves as a way to assess and track your progress over time.

Your djembe drum is an investment, and you have invested both time and money to acquire it. Now that you have your djembe drum, it is important to take care of it so that it functions effectively and lasts for a long time. There are several ways to care for your djembe, including getting a djembe bag for transporting your drum and regular maintenance of the skin.
When your drum is not in use, it should be stored in a safe place to prevent unnecessary damage. To preserve the longevity of the skin, it is helpful to detune the djembe when it is not being regularly played. By detuning the drum, it gives the skin a break and can extend its lifespan.
