This rhythm was taught to me by my griot drummer friend Mamadou Kienou from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. The last djembe part is a variation of the first one - you just add an extra slap right after the bass note. You can start both of them with a lead-in from the fourth note from the end as an option. (Btw, Mamadou tours Europe with parts of his great performance group Foteban each year.)
