Yep, that’s right. This is was going to be a little update, because since the last entry, I’ve spent more time playing the drums than I’ve spent building anything (well, there have been a few more experiments with cymbals, but I’ll save that for another post).
I’m taking lessons over at Stephens Drum Shed and I’ve learned heaps even though I still struggle to find as much time to practise as I would like. My goal is to take the drumkit out busking in public before 2014 is over, so I’m trying to get my playing skills to a point where I won’t be an embarrassment on the streets 🙂
So it turns out that a friend of mine is organising a homebuilt musical instrument roots and blues festival. It’s mostly cigar box guitars, but apparently a square drumkit qualifies. So tomorrow morning I’ll be driving 2.5 hours out to Bendigo to show off my drumkit and maybe have a jam or two. I’m a little nervous about my skills but thankfully I don’t have to play on stage in front of an audience! It will be the drumkit’s first official public showing.
