I was in an Ewe/Dagbamba (Ghanaian) drumming troupe in college, but I don't really remember enough to give pointers. Two very different cultures and styles of drumming from the same country... the Dagbamba stuff had talking drums and these larger drums with a single "snare" strand that were shoulder slung, both played with a single curved stick using a twisting wrist action. The trick is you also had to dance in a circle and sing while playing. The Ewe stuff you played sitting down (and had much more complex rhythms, with multiple instruments, a gourd shaker, a bell, three different supporting drums and a lead drum played by the teacher), but we learned dances and songs as well, which tended to be performed by the folks who weren't strong drummers, but everybody had to learn everything. I remember some of the parts, but am certainly not qualified to teach them.
