I have yet to receive the book so I can't review it
Not for beginners
This is strictly a demostration DVD with no verbal instructions. It might be good for others, but I did not benefit from it.
 Learning from a master
Alejo Balingit has directed and produced another winner in his instructional DVD series. This Thione Diop DVD is easy to navigate and use. Being able to combine instruments as one wishes within each rhythm is a definite plus. Neophytes will find parts easy to learn in the slow mode, then can progress to playing them up to tempo. Seeing notation as the rhythm is played can help the learning process. More experienced players can learn new rhythms or study the subtle differences between Senegalese versions and the Guinean versions of familiar ones. The ensemble playing provides excellent background against which to practice soloing.
Concise and amazing video
This dvd is amazing. The sound and feel of it provide an easy to follow tutorial for beginners and professionals. The little things are great, the way the menu and camera angles are laid out make it extremley easy to follow along with the dvd and find what you're looking for. I would reccomend this film to any drummer, or anyone interested in great rhythms!
Learn from a Master Drummer
(...)I bought the John Yost Teaches West African Rhythms DVD last year. That was a good DVD to learn rhythms and then I recently bought the Thione Diop DVD. This one is even better! It sounds and looks ten times better. The notation lights up and and shows me when to hit the notes and there are so many different combination of instruments I can choose from as it plays. The fast ensemble videos show Thione playing solo with the other drums. I have never seen a master drummer before but after seeing the solo intro I want to see one in person. It is amazing that they can play as fast as they do. There are five rhythms to learn on this DVD but there are 5 parts to each rhytm. I've used the other drums before, and I wish I had the other drums to play with, but the djembe is my favorite.
