So now I am into my second week of drum lessons (doumbek). I have already learned far more than I ever have from any other lessons I have taken! I have a more confident style of playing and getting better sound from the drum by using these new techniques.
And to top it off, the teacher is planning a performance in March and wants us to perform! Woohoo! It’s been awhile since I have performed, and now I have two in March, the other one being with my drum ensemble.
I don’t if anyone out there reading this is a musician and have done gigs, but for those who haven’t, it’s addicting! Hearing the applause, feeling the energy from the audience as they clap in rhythm or dance to the music. It’s a lot of work and you are both exhilarated and exhausted at the same time!
I tool some time off from all this to re-group and take care of personal matters. Now I am really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!
How about it? Any other musicians out there?
