    So I went and bought my first drum at this little Aftrican Import place a few weeks ago.  The shopkeeper wished me “happy drumming” when I left.

    I love it!

    Going tribal this year!  I'm becoming a frickin' hippie!  I soooo need to become more peaceful.  ;D

    oh yeah, I def want to be proficient with it if I leave my house.  I have also considered the possibility whether DJ's are bothered by drumming during/along with their set?  At home I like to hit it along with music playing but that's more of like a training thing…seeing if I can transfer what I am hearing down into the drum.  At a party though I think it would be most polite to drum far enough away from the DJ where s/he can't hear me and it doesn't interupt them.  Unless of course it's indoors or the DJ's set is specifically for a drum circle.

    This is not directed to anyone specific, but I can't stand it when people who can't keep a rhythm think it is ok to play along. Its like trying to watch a movie with people talking next to you.

    Practice for 10 years before you bring that thing out  ;D

    If you can't keep good time please drum away from the DJ and anyone trying to listen to the music.

    Drum Circle at Crystal Sky? Sure! but, at the beach, not the stage…

    Ok.. there's my “music nazi” rant for today.. jerks!  ;D

    Paul you know your drumming will be appreciated at the secret rituals you and Unnamed Others attend.

    I have attended only a few good live drumming circles in my life.

    The worst are pagans who think they have to bang on a drum because that's what pagans have to do, regardless of how bad they are.

    That's a Tibetan brass singing bowl. The crystal bowls are WAY louder and more intense in every way.

    I know what it is – I have one  8) Crystal bowls look nice when Cirque Du Soleil performs  😛
