they don't get taught they teach themselves
African drumming was traditionally taught through oral transmission and hands-on learning, where experienced drummers would mentor novices by demonstrating rhythms and techniques. This process often involved community participation, with learning taking place in informal settings such as ceremonies, festivals, and gatherings. Drummers learned through repetition, observation, and imitation, emphasizing the importance of both individual skill and collective performance. The teaching also incorporated cultural stories and social values, making drumming an integral part of community identity and heritage.
