We met this Great musician, a operatic singer, Evan.
We didn't know the songs he could sing so we ended up just randomly singing notes,but it sounded o.k

Drum Lesson....in the car!
Sometimes I like to sit in my car with the windows rolled up...
The base of the drum resonates sooo nicely in such a small space.
I also find that teaching yourself to play in such a limited space gets your wrists to naturally do what you want them to do...
Try it, and let me know if you get the same effect.
P.S
Forgive the sound just a little bit...vid was taken with my cellphone
Drumming at Cactus,South Africa
I enjoyed playing a couple of rythms at Cactus,a mexican restuarant and pub in George,South Africa...unfortunately the owner didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of the people there, so I had to can it after a couple of rythms...
Muhammid....Sorry it took so long!!!

He was at Zanzibar(Club in South Africa) when I bumped into him.
