drums

The Hang drum is new to me and it is relatively new to the drumming world from what I gather. It's a Swiss contribution to the development of the Jamaican steel drum. I hadn't been aware of it until this morning, but am now captivated.

This is some of the sweetest drumming I've ever heard.

I've been exercising my curiosity about rhythm with a dejembe drum graciously left behind for our enjoyment by Naomi, a friend of Mighty's when they were out for the father's day weekend. Suffice it to say that I'm still a very white guy and need work on my rhythm, but that's what youtube is for, maybe.
