Drums Part IV

A quick lunch update!

What can I say, really? I've been playing the drums in total isolation for a week now. Complete bliss or a self-imposed nightmare? A little bit of both.

It got really warm and humid here in Drums. This weather makes me lazy. Luckily, the basement room where I have my drums set up is about the temperature of your standard walk-in meat locker. Deerdog, an ever-faithful travel companion, showed up one day.


I've been taking some time in the evening to head down to the lake.
Usually I take the kanjira drum with me because it's a completely relaxing place to practice, somehow I feel a stronger connection with the drum, and there's a really cool echo that makes the drum sound massive.

Looking forward to another afternoon figuring out 3-2 afro-clave polyrhythms and South Indian tala cycles.
