Tonight I went to a drum workshop where myself and a bunch of other people learned how to play hand drums. I really enjoyed the djembe and earning the various techniques to hit it. We also learned about various other percussion instruments – congas, bongos, cowbells, tamborines, etc.
Neil Kyle, the Voice drummer and my friend Mike Kyle (his brother and keyboardist extraordinare) taught the workshop. At the end we all just jammed. I have never done anything remotely musical like this, and it was so fun. We have two more weeks of it and I am looking forward to it.
