Wow, this has been a great experience. I’ve been drumming with Dave for about a month now. We’re total beginners but moving along pretty fast. When I see what Dave can do, it’s just a little motivation to keep on practicing. Dave is really awesome about insisting on getting the fundamentals right. It’s going to make me a good (hopefully great) drummer someday. After a couple years of just banging on a djembe, I feel that I’m moving in a scholarly direction in the great art form of drumming and that I’m getting there. We’re working on the Abakuah. It’s an Afro-Cuban rhythm in 6/8 time. I had no idea how these rhythms can shift around. I’m lovin’ it!
