Hi there,
I wanted to send you a quick note to say that I’ve started a blog aggregator, basically a site that reads some content from different blogs and posts them on the site.
From there, users click on the subject to read the title and are directed to the author’s blog.
This site is a drum site. I’m doing this purely for fun on my own server space. I will add new features from time to time.
There are some fine drum sites out there… I’m just trying to make my contribution to the drumming comunity.
Anyways, I have added your blog’s feed. If you know of any other drummers who have blogs and would be interested in being linked, please let me know.
Thanks!
Yves
what is the URL to the aggregator ?
Hi
I am wondering in Buda is the name of the drum or of the mic in your first page about recording. Thanks for providing a useful resource. I will be waiting with interest for future articles.
I don’t have a website yet, but I do have a blog that is concerned with drumming and Native American flute. It is dominantly information oriented. It is:

Hey there –
Please add the IFE-ILE Afro-Cuban Dance & Music Festival to your list of events (www.ife-ile.org) — bata drumming workshops are offered during the festival, which takes place here in Miami (all workshops in Coconut Grove). Also, please list Ezequiel Torres as an instructor, and his phone # as (305) 651-3966. He’s one of the most renowned bata players in the world, and is considered by many to be the best craftsman of bata drums here in the U.S. (he’s in Miami, too). His Web site (which needs updating) is http://www.afrocubanbatadrums.com.
I applaud you for creating this site and helping drum circle addicts like myself find our kindred spirits. I hope Miami starts a lot more drum circles this year!
Thanks –
Corinna

The Floating Drum in Miami will be held from 5 to 7PM this Saturday at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove. This is an open drum circle. It’s in a public park, so you’ll need to bring your own seating. It’s by the playground just in case drummers have any kids attached.
Greetings. We will be down Oct 19-22 and would love to see some great drumming. Is there any way to subscribe to your blog, or get a listing of events for the dates we are down?
~LARS~
Hi Lars,
I don’t have a specific idea of what’s happening in town on that week, but I’ve just inaugurated a email subscription system. So you can be informed as soon as new information comes this way!

Hi
I wanted to thank you for your responce to my question on Djembe L-list. I was told it was summited privatly so your responce was not approved but a one of my teachers is a moderator so I did get it in an email.
I will try it with a click.
Here is the short thread:
I want to try to record an african rythem by myself. Mostly becouse I
can. I have a recording studio and all the drums I need. Alas I am
but 1 person. At first I thought maybe to a metronome but I really
don’t like that idea. It would not let the music breath (speed up and
slow down).
What I’m thinking now is playing the basic djembe part (standard
accompaniment) with arangments and breaks and then building the Dun
Dun and other djembe parts around that. That way I can listen for the
breaks to know when to do the changes.
Any ideas out there?
Luke Bass
Hi Luke,
you have to play to a click. There’s no other way around it if you want to
play everything yourself.
If you want to be able to change tempo, you either program that into the
click or you record two version with the alternative tempos. Then you can do
a transition from one to the other.
Good luck.

I am an up-and-coming Latin pop artist and I will be performing at a showcase for the Latin Billboards on the 21. I am looking to do 2-3 songs acoustically and need some Percussionist to join me. This is a non paying gig but should be lots of fun and great experience!
