So this was a fun jam at one of my drum students homes...she is 70 years old this year...has decided to learn to play 6 musical instruments, and is also going through lessons on her RECORDING STUDIO that she has recently set up for herself...

She offered to use her home as a venue for a "Muzo Party"...

 Lew behind the drum kit...he's been a drummer for more than 40years and still plays for a band...

In the lounge we had, Drum Kit, Congo/Bongo Set, 5/6 Djembes, 3 Guitars, 1 Cello and 2 pianos(one of them being a beautiful HUGE Grand Piano)

 Lew's Wife Sandy, on the Bongo/Congo set...

Lorraine, my drum student who owns the house, one the Black Mamba Toca Djembe...

 Wesley Wolhuter on Cello and Piano...he has already reached quite a successful point in his music career...what a amazing musician!!!!

And...of course...me behind a piano...I play(in an amateur way)37 different instruments...but professionally on Djembe!!!

Bet you didn't see that one coming...hehehe


Thank you Lorraine for an awsome jam and muzo party!!!!

I am back with a vengeance!!!!

Hi to All,

I am so glad you have decided to check out my blog.

As you can clearly see...I hope...I am deeply impressed with the Djembe Drum.
The Djembe is an African Drum(Althogh I think it is firstly from Senegal,back in the day)
It is carved from a tree stump, the harder, heavier the wood...the better quality drum you get.
The skin on the drum is usually goatskin, pigskin or a modern plastic-ee-leather(Which is terrible to play on)

On this blog I will be posting vid clips and pics of various styles of playing and rythms that you can maybe learn and use...I hope that I can impart some useful knowledge to you!

Enjoy, and please spread the news of my blog and lets see just how many other drummers are blogging along with you and I.
