Hand Drumming Mailing Lists and Newsgroups

The links below will take you to the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) or sign-up pages for a variety of hand drum related mailing lists, discussion boards and news groups. The content of the groups may or may not focus on traditional Mande djembe/dundun drumming, depending on the topics under discussion at any given time. Segments below in quotes are from the welcome message for that particular list.

The authors of the Djembe/Mande Music page do not vouch for the accuracy of the information shared on the lists below - please read with care! If you do subscribe, be sure to keep the user information the list servers will send you on how to unsubscribe, as some of the lists can generate 40-50 messages a day.

If you know of other hand drum related lists, please contact MichaelWall <(808)737-3786> who maintains this volume.
