Hi Ken, great stuff again, thank you. I notice that you seem to be using a 12" drum here - what's your opinion on playing lap style on drums below 14"? Do you find it limiting at all? I'm wavering between the two sizes for travel. Pranams!

[@kenshorley]

Hello Pierre. 12" is certainly as small as I would go for lap-style playing. This Cooperman hybrid tambourine is actually quite fun to play in a number of ways - lap style, upright, or even jazz-snare style with brushes!
