Alright, Lets see how this goes...I'm a Part time Freelance Percussionist/Drummer/Vocalist as well as the music director of my local church. I've performed Calypso, Konpa, African, Bossa Nova and Rock styles. I also have a small side business Reheading Djembes, and have recently become very interested in making drums and various percussion instruments. Enjoy the media!

had no intent of "hijacking" this pix thread! just old fart stupidity on my part... forgetting to start a seprate post. My heart's in the right place, but this 67 year old brain is missing a step. Again, sorry.
Wow what an awesome experience as well as a great blessing that must have been for you brother, opening up for Jars of Clay, I love their music. Congratulations. Do you have any of your music on youtube? By the way I dig that African conga.
Thanks King. It was very fun opening for Jars...The band (Zions Call) did an EP then kinda fell apart...people getting married and having kids etc...The lead singer went on to record a solo album. Check Him out at Myspace.com. His name is John Ebel. The African Conga is a Kpanlogo drum from Ghana. One of my favorite drums but not the easiest to play. Sounds like a conga only a little drier... As for Youtube, search sakuntu and you can see some stuff I put up.. nothing professional... just goofing around.
Wish I had been there it looks as if evryone is having a great time. Sakuntu I am very curious about the sound of those African Congas being that I have never even touched one, do they sound like traditional wood Congas? are they in fact more difficult to play? do they stay tuned perty well with the type of tuning system that they have? Thanks.
