In African drumming, the title of master drummer is given to a drummer who is well known by other masters for his high skill and knowledge. It is a title passed down from a master to his pupil, after he has learned all there is to know about the African drum.

In general, a master drummer has given his whole life to the djembe and dunun. He is able to play any part of any rhythm for his ethnic group and neighbouring ethnic groups, in any ceremonial situation. He also knows the songs and dances that go with each rhythm. A drummer can play for twenty years before he or she is given the status of 'Master'.

Another type of master drummer is a person who leads other drummers in playing drum rhythms, e.g. in the French Caribbean styles, the master drummer may be called "kamande" in French Creole.
