3-4 years. Hand drums only.
I doubt that I'll ever play in a band, that wasn't my intent when I started. I enjoy playing for myself and playing in drum circles. Anything else will be just what comes down the road.
I'm a bit frustrated with myself and I hope the gang here can give me some advice. I'm doing hand drums and my teacher has me working on speed. I'm trying to get my doubles up around 200 beats per...
Well, I don't yet know if we made the numbers to break the record, but it was a great day. We had a community drum circle, then some different groups played, then we tried for the record, playing 3...
I'm planning on taking my Toca djembe - mahogany and goat skin. I hope we make the numbers, but it will be fun in any case. I will definitely post here afterwards!
On April 26, 2014, at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, will be the world's largest drum circle - or at least that's what the organizers are hoping for. They are aiming for 1,400...
Done! Ordered the keyboard shirt (and a decal for the car and a travel mug)! I bought a new car in November and its bumper is naked.
I'm hoping to work some with the woman who facilitates the circles I usually go to and also set up a small one with a non-drumming group for the folks who might be interested. (Sorry about delay in...
I didn't start playing until after 50. I figure, as long as I can grab a drum or pick up a stick, I'm good to go.
And SunDog, I also want to steal this, it's awesome:

I write stuff down. Also, my drum teacher had me write stuff and then use it for practice. When I write something, I will often take it to him to make sure that what I wrote actually means what I...
Hi gang! I think I fall into the semi-active category here. My forum time goes up and down, depending on work, life, etc., but I do check in when I can and post when I've got something to say or feel...
A while back I mentioned that I was sort of interested in doing facilitated drum circles. I was able to get into six days of training (at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where there wasn't any snow). I...
I totally forgot that BlueSky and I have the same birthday. I knew she was awesome!!!
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!
No secret - I just turned 56. I creak a little but don't let it...
I've been a Five Guys fan from way back - I lived near their original place when there were only one or two shops. You had to sit on the window sill while you were waiting and it was totally worth...
I definitely see a connection between drumming and poetry - these are two big things in my life. I haven't had books published yet (way to go, davidenorth!) but I have had several poems published....
It's 10 degrees, snow on the ground, and I have a cold, but I'm working from home today and it's my birthday, so
I WIN!
Cool video! I've played with a small slit drum at a drum circle (the woman who runs it has a ton of fun percussion instruments) and I really loved the sound of it. There's such a wonderful mix of...
Bongobro, I had a similar experience. After my one dog, Toby, died, we used to hear him walking around the house - I'd even hear him when my husband and other dog, Kinsey, were out of the house and I...
I'm usually pretty patient with folks not understanding what I'm talking about - it's about attitude and I think I was reacting to this particular person as much as what was said. Very interesting to...
*Merry Christmas to everybody!
(*where applicable)
Happy birthday, Rick! Born on the winter solstice huh? Must bring light wherever you go :-)
Dude! I nearly snorted hot apple cider out my nose! Awesome! Thank you!
Red - cause it will match your Santa hat?!
That is so awesome! Definitely best Christmas present. You know, I actually came on here today to check for you, because I don't get on all the time and hadn't see you post anything for a bit when I...
