learn to play the djembe

A couple of years ago, I bought a Remo djembe drum with a synthetic head. It has been sitting in my living room ever since. I look at it every day and think, someday I’m gonna take drum lessons and learn to play. I love the sound of African hand drumming. I’d like to play with a group of people in a healing drum circle.

Do you think Tuki is a nice name for “the djambe” ?

Today i`ve just recived a call. my djambe is already waiting for me in Tallinn (Estonia), now i just need to deliver it here (Riga,Latvia)... damn this e-bay deliveries :\
Anyway, this means that my practice will soon begin! :) anybody have any ideas how should i start? any books? videos? anything? :)
i really need to name djambe…to give it a little more “spirit” :)
