Wow, great news on your studies at Berklee! Please don't freeze over there in Boston. About 15 years ago I played a bit at 2 places in Boston... the "Middle East Cafe" and the "Western Front". Don't know if these places are still around, but I bet your music would go over great there. Lucky they are to have you in Boston for now!

All the best,

yoni

hope you enjoy these darbuka clips, with my youngest and eldest kids. :)

Well I am now officially addicted.

I already 'upgraded' to this doumbek:

and will put my little even cheaper one on kijiji.

When it arrived Friday I thought they had fibbed to me ... I thought it was ceramic ... but a little scraping of paint revealed it is aluminum. I had no idea you could cast aluminum.

An engineer friend assured me that casting aluminum is not uncommon at all.

Soon I may be as good as your youngest Yoni :D
