right now I've got my djembe and a small aluminum kettle drum I made. I'm saving for a set of congas. I'd almost bought a tabla set, until I learned how dificult the were.
my teacher is really cool. he originally taught me guitar, two years ago he started teaching me drumset. then when I got my djembe he worked with me on that. he's an incredibly flexible teacher and knows alot of instruments.
I play all the time now. I found that playing in my old treehouse, pretty much a big wooden box attached to a tree and two stilts, is quite an experience. the bass notes travel through the drum into the floor and the entire treehouse makes the note.
OK,, got it! You're exploring every which way!
Cool.. You're on the enlightened path!
Can't wait till you get the congas!
I'm willing to be they'll cause you to increase the focus!
