I have a background of drumming... playing Kit since I was about 12... My dad is a drummer. My Hand percussion has been gradually improving. I've been studying Djembe with Mohamad Bangoura for about 3 years now and I've been gigings as a Percussionist now for the same amount of time. it's time for Congas... Only patterns I know are from Giovvani Hidalgo DVD's I've had for a couple of years... i've never been shown exactly how to approach the congas and I know it's different to Djembe. I live in Bondi and I have a car...
Keep in touch.....

p.s by the way reading through this post... cracked me up...Some funny shit right there...

Hey FarCanal!

Lessons are not a problem.
PM me and we can go from there.

He is also a nice guy. one of the best percussionist in australia.

God Bless
