Overview

Amateurly complimented drummer with a greater fondness for hand drums. Best with Darbuka, but also fine with: Dejembe, Bongos, Congas, Cajon, or any all other hand drums. Learns styles easily on the fly, yet plays with unique application. Best with improv in the flow, currently more about art in a specific time and place. Have been playing for a long time. I can read music but I don’t play as well. I prefer and am better at playing by ear; passion over perfection. Would like to enjoy presenting some live solo art that is privately appreciated.

Services offered

Set list

Can play for 5 minutes or 5 hours, it does not matter. I’m full of different styles of hand drum playing improv and in the flow. I’m aware of many styles (West African, Egyptian, Turkish, Indian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Asian, on and on), yet play them in my own way and in the flow of the now where I play.

Influences and inspiration

Nothing much. I enjoy listening to Darbuka players, playing at my main drum circle, and creating my own beats. It’s natural for me, and I am ready to share the energy of it at present.

Setup requirements

None. Unless you need it louder, I have the basics.
