OK, you must be like the coolest Dad EVER!  Wink

Seriously, that will be me someday. Does your son play as well?


HaHa,

He doesn't play, he played guitar when he was young....but I do have a pic somewhere of him as a baby sitting on my lap at a drumset....

For the wedding I was nervous, I had never played reggae before, got a 2 hour practice with a real reggae singer..gave me some tips....watching the wedding tape, it was pretty sloppy, lots of unintentional cross stick/foot flams on the 1 drop.

Also really realized how much power conga players have in their arms... to cut through and keep up the energy level...different muscle group, my arms were killing me after....at least I overcame my snobbery about only playing Afro Cuban stuff on congas..2 guys in the drum circle were from Mali, one had great sense of groove, dancing and drumming at the same time....anyway, it was lots of fun....
