about me
I have been playing the hammered dulcimer ("American Santoor") for over 9 years. I forgot how long I have been playing percussion for, but I started taking it more serious after my wife took up bellydancing a couple of years ago. I also play the celtic harp (more like own one), Irish bouzouki (Gg-Dd-aa-ee tuning, btw) because it is more versatile than the Greek one. My list of percussion instruments are: the Arabic tablah, riq, frame drum (or "tar" ?), regular tambourine and the cajon (mine has a snare).
I love to play for dancers whether it be folk dancers or belly dancers. I am now officially the "in--house" drummer for Aalim Dance Academy. You can hear samples of my music at my MySpace page (I also have more photos and a blog too): myspace.com/dustinjcooper

The ones that Issam brought to Dallas (the red ones) sounded and felt really good to me, which was really surprising. I thought for it being plastic and paper material it would be light, but this sucker was heavy.
