Gerne !

Bum (noun) โ€“ Synonym for โ€œ derrier, behind, booty, butt, rear end, backside, etc.โ€ in the United Kingdom and elsewhere."

"As long as you play your drum regularly, say at least a couple of times a month, there is nothing you need to do to the skin to keep it supple and conditioned. It gets most of what it needs from your own hand oils. As you play, the drum is actually absorbing your hand oils." Rhythm Traders Djembe Care and Maintenance

Based on my current weekly drum time, my drum skins should be dripping in human moisturizer!

Yesterday...FULL ORCHESTRA...OUTSIDE!

Bald Eagle does a fly by. Local residents walking by sit down for a listen...take photos and videos because they liked, no they LOVED what they were seeing and hearing. And WE...We Were All One...We were all DRUMMERS.

Feeling all the feels:

WONDERMENT at my good fortune to be there!
GRATITUDE for being healthy & fit enough to participate in classes, rehearsals and performances.
AWE for Gregg Hansen's, teaching methods that turn even non musicians into a competent ORGANIZED PERFORMATIVE TROUPE of drummers in an astoundingly short amount of time.
LOVE for the people who share the experience with me week after week
PEACE and UNBRIDLED JOY.

That's what YESTERDAY was for me. Spring is here & we can gather OUTDOORS to enjoy the colors & sounds of nature intermingled with the sounds of our drumming as we come together to create Gregg's vision for our upcoming performance season-shaping up to be AMAZING.

I have a djembe solo thing that I just played, and of course, I had to record it.

have the SUPREME honor of having found, at my advanced age of 73, a group of people I now call my SOUL TRIBE. These are the people I drum with. Classes, rehearsals, practices, performances or just one or two of us in a sunny park on a pleasant day. They're people I share group chats with when were not together. Coffee and convo; get togethers on decks, at potlucks, at celebrations, at after performance parties, at restaurants after classes...and so on.

They're the people who generously offer their time to help me when I have a drumming challenge - or an ear to listen to my life challenges or to share a congratulate a life achievement. Their hearts, minds and arms are open whenever needed.

I found my group, my tribe: Djembe Orchestras of Colorado.

And it HAS changed my life.

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the passing of Michael Babatunde Olatunji (April 7, 1927 โ€“ April 6, 2003), the famous Nigerian drummer, educator, social activist, and recording artist.

In addition to advancing and promoting African Drumming around the world, he was also an activist for race equality.

Three years before Rosa Parks' bus boycott, Babatunde protested against racial segregation in the southern states of America. He was part of a generation of those who played an important role in the fight for racial justice in the US.

He sure loved to drum and he was inarguably a true MASTER DJEMBEFOLA. And if you ever got a chance to drum with him, I'm sure it was an experience you'll never forget.

For interested parties, here's some audio I just recorded of me playing my two djembes. I may be selling the second one in the recording, which is a GonBops Fiesta, if I can find a local buyer.

Just got the replacement . Needless to say, after getting it all tuned up, I'm leaving it where it is. There is no way I'm touching the tuning of that drum again unless absolutely necessary, especially after that whole snapping bolt situation with the last drum.

I started reading this article titled "WHEN THE BEAT GOES OFF" which intrigued me as we strive so hard to KEEP THE BEAT so that the beat goes ON!
The first paragraph: "Rhythm pulses inside the brain of a Ghanian drummer, sitting in a physics laboratory in Gottingen, Germany. His hands caress the skin of a bongo drum, guided by the metronomeโ€™s tick through his headphones. He plays for five minutes, filling the sterile lab environment with staccato sounds, as a team of physicists records him, searching for a pattern."
I saw those words "his HANDS caress the skin of A BONGO drum." And my first thought was:

NAH...I bet he was playing a DJEMBE! Because so many people call almost any hand drum a bongo! And then I remembered a meme I had seen which summed it up perfectly - and then I FOUND IT AGAIN and I think it's kinda true!

What makes a heart beat? Brain sends impulses to autonomic system causing valves to open and close creating heart beat.

How is drum In the heart?
Drumming creates sounds that are llike the BLOOD that's created by the BEATING of the human HEART. Just as the BRAIN initiates the IMPULSES to be sent to the HEART causing it to BEAT, the DRUMMER is the initiator (the BRAIN) of the IMPULSE (impact on drum head) that causes the drum (the HEART) to BEAT! So....

DRUMMER/IMPACT/DRUM/SOUND
BRAIN/IMPULSE/HEART/ BEAT.

Drumming increases vibrations increasing emotions creating healthy conditions in the body & well being for the human spirit.

Higher vibe+more happines+ improved well being= HEALTHIER PLANET?

Healthy, happy inhabitants take better care of their environment!
So when we PLAY drums, aren't we, in a sense, drumming IN the heart of our first mother...MOTHER EARTH?

Great Ted Talk! "A thousand drums at the ready. No one really knew what to expect. Those that thought "I don't have any rhythm in my body" or "not sure if I want to do this" soon found out otherwise.
John entered singing and then proceeded to conduct the audience to hum, clap, drum, sing and generally make a noise.
By removing all dialogue from the show, makes people focus by having to listen and look. The audience had to be in the present moment to connect with what was happening around them and created magic."
