This video shows how to play the bembe pattern with a backbeat. Remember to keep the bembe pattern steady. Practice with a metronome to achieve this. The back beat should be played strong and confident. This pattern will impress your audience because chances are they are unused to hearing a backbeat in a 12/8 pattern.
