Had a great time. Good shows, good music, good people.

Also, the cops showed up and we all played telephone.

Just wanted to let all of my tribe friends know that I am thinking of you! Work is crazy (tax season), but I look forward to seeing many of you at Tribalcon, or Elevation 2009!

I will be teaching a workshop this Wednesday at The Studio. Workshop starts at 8pm.
The workshop will be suitable for levels beginner through advanced-intermediate, but beginners should have some experience and should expect to be challenged.

For more info about the location or to arrange for borrowing a drum, pm me.

about me
play egyptian tabla (a.k.a. doumbek or darbuka). I am now seeking bandmates for a bellydance band! We are always looking for cool events to travel to. I'm also on the lookout for anyone who wants to add a little arabian flair to their music or dance...

My Recent Activity

Re: Cool new darbuka articles at Fingers of Fury! (in Middle Eastern Percussion) I'm impressed with everything I've seen. I'm saving up the ducats to sing up now.
I guess I can write it off as a business expense ; )

Re: Where is the "Ka" on a Davul/Tupan? (in Middle Eastern Percussion) i guess that puts you ahead of the game!

P.S. Can anybody explain / do a video on how to do those ridiculously fast rolls on the switch hand? They look like bounce rolls to me but I can't be sure.

Re: "Double zill" type percussion instrument? (in Middle Eastern Percussion) Like these : www.activemusician.com/item--MD.QARK

they spell it Qarkabeb, but it's the same word!

I usually just search for "morrocan cymbals" or "morrocan castanets" to avoid the confusion!

Re: Anyone ever paint the inside of their drum to improve sound? (in Dumbek Fever) I should add that it is more durable than paint, as well.
