There are spaces between each note to accomodate the superfast notes
at the end of each bar of Djembe 1; imagine each space as a tiny rest.

Notice that the slaps on the Break's penultimate line alternate
hands: first three on the right/strong hand, then three on the left/other.

(c) Traditional Guinean rhythm, as communicated via long-distance
phone-call by Craig Morrison to Malcolm Smith 1999-01-01 12:00 GMT.
There are at least four more accompaniment parts which are too scary
to be transmitted down a phone line. I added the Low Djembe idea
instead which is easier to play and generates lots of energy: a great
pattern to warm you up if playing outdoors in cold weather!

The dun dun part (which spreads over two bars) is from a rhythm called
'Jah' that Justine taught me, which also features the same Djembe 1
pattern, so it fits in nicely here.
