The rope system of the djembe is pretty easier to tune. It is possible to tune by taking the excessive rope and putting that under two vertical ropes. After that, the excess rope can be taken under the first. Hence, it will form the shape of an S. Now, you need to wrap the rope around a stick and put it, making it tight. On the other hand, in terms of the key tune djembes, you need to tighten each lug slightly, then move that in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. For such matters, Gappu Cajon has made separate tutorials for users to follow.

There are three fundamental ways to strike the drum, the djembe. First the “Bass Tone”, is the lowest sound of the instrument. You need to keep your hand flat and strike the drum, keeping it a little off-center. Secondly, the “Open Tone”, is created on the edge of the drum. You need to line up the knuckles with the outer edge of the drum’s surface and keep the fingers flat on it, keeping the thumbs out of the surface. Now, you need to strike the drum while keeping your fingers together. “Slap Tone” comes next which is more aggressive than both of the above. Follow the exact hand gestures used in an open tone, just keep the fingers a little bit apart. When hitting, you will be hitting the edge with your palm and your fingers must slightly bounce off the surface. At Gappu Cajon tutorials, you will be able to learn all the techniques mentioned above in detail, and with a little bit of practice, it will be easier to master djembe.
