We like to have parts 1 and 2 play, say eight measures or so, then 1 and 3, then 2 and 3, and finally all three parts together.

The breaks: Opening and closing:

      t   t   t   .   t   t   t   .   t   t   t   .   sf   .   sf
      t   t   t   .   t   t   t   .   t   t   t   .   sf   .   .

Internal breaks: Call (played by drummer on the Djembe 2 part)

                                                      sf   .   sf   .

Response by all djembes:

      t   t   t   .   t   t   t   .   t   t   t   .   sf   .   sf

after which all djembes return to their parts

this played three times, followed by another longer phrase that has seven instead of just the three consecutive open tones. After the seventh O, the bell

stroke on the final 4 count can be doubled, as in                               x x
