about me
Jobwise I'm a graphic designer, freelance illustrator, but enough about me…
Okay, not that any cares…
(blog entry)
Yes, I have been in the nether lands obscura. But in my absence I scored some terrific swag. A Remo Klong Yao drum. Sweet. The doum on this baby is like a homeboys bass speaker, and yet it has sweet ringing highs. It was overly extravagant gift fo...

The Durga Tour in Amarillo
(blog entry)
The Bay area Goth ladies were inspiring! The crowd was around 100… for a Tuesday night in Amarillo that's a pretty good turn out. Everyone was appreciative of all the dancers (well done ladies!") but grew silent for the star performers… not an una...

DRUMS THAT SOUND ALIKE
(blog entry)
The sounds of different types of drums in a marching band are easy to distinguish, even without seeing the instruments.
What makes these sounds so readily identifiable is that each drum vibrates at characteristic frequencies, depending mainly o...

Yes, I have been in the nether lands obscura. But in my absence I scored some terrific swag. A Remo Klong Yao drum. Sweet. The doum on this baby is like a homeboys bass speaker, and yet it has sweet ringing highs. It was overly extravagant gift for my birthday from my family and friends. Either they love me, or just got tired of hearing me whine about how much I would like to have one. Thanks all.

The Bay area Goth ladies were inspiring! The crowd was around 100… for a Tuesday night in Amarillo that's a pretty good turn out. Everyone was appreciative of all the dancers (well done ladies!") but grew silent for the star performers… not an unappreciated silence, but simply in awe of their creative talent. Their creative use of music and costuming pushes middle eastern dance to a new edge. If anyone ever has the opportunity to see Tempest or Ariellah perform or teach, do not pass it up. A...

Unlike western music, Mideastern music is rarely polyphonic. All the instruments in the traditional ME orchestra play the lead melody unlike western music with its harmonies and chords.

EVERY DRUM HAS IT'S OWN VOICE. I LOVE THE DEPTH AND MELLOWNESS OF MY DAVEED KORUP CERAMIC WITH SYNTHETIC HEAD. MY NATURAL HEAD DRUMS ARE MELLOW, BUT I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE HUMIDTY CAN GIVE QU...

Several factors determine the sound a drum produces, including the type of shell the drum has, the type of drumheads it has, and the tension of the drumheads. Different drum sounds have different uses in music. For example, a jazz drummer may want drums that sound crisp, clean, and a little on the soft side, whereas a rock and roll drummer may prefer drums that sound loud and deep. Because these drummers want different sounds, their drums will be cons...
