Following along on kanjira is making my brain explode. Really appreciate you posting these and playing the phrases multiple times at a reasonable tempo so we can practice along!

Hopefully you'll take a break just before your head explodes! Thanks for the comment!

Hi. Please make a video of playing hand drums(frame drum especially) in a band with other drummers (drum kit). I struggle with creating a sound that doesn't sound overpowering, especially at fast rhythms.

[@kenshorley]

Yes it can be a challenge to balance frame drum in an ensemble/band context. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'd be curious to hear how this sounds with two drums (one playing doum ka ka tek ka ka and the other playing the phrases you are speaking). I'm sure that could get very interesting depending on where you places the Doum strokes in the phrases. Maybe I'll give that a try!

[@drumfan_4.20]

Yes!!

[@kenshorley]

Cool idea! Let me know how it goes!
