I got hooked on the african drum, the djembe, after just one little session with Peter. I can now pick up tempos and beats much better, something I wasn't really able to do well before when I watched and listened at a drum circle. Anyhow, Peter's brother makes drums and I became a proud owner of one of his works yesterday, yay! The sound is great and I banged on it for hours while Charlie drove us from Wilderness to Cape Town yesterday afternoon. Now the question is how are we going to transport it home?! It' pretty heavy and too big for a carry-on I think. Hopefully I can pack it up well and check it.
