Couldn't agree more with the quote attached to this meme about how a good groove is what good #drumming is all about. Mickey Hart has said some profound things about the experience of drumming and I pretty much agree with them all. Best known as a rock n roll drummer for The Grateful Dead, he also had a deep love of, & respect for #djembes and other hand drums.
In a July 2022 interview he said: "There’s the idea of representing the drum in its glory, in its original indigenous form, played in the grooves that it was made for. There’s an argument for that and I’ve done that on many of my records. For me, in this moment, though, it’s not necessarily about a great djembe sound; it’s about how that sound moves me. By using that drum as the basis of operations that triggers some other kind of processing, I can take that djembe, or any drum, and transform it into an orchestra or something much larger or different."
AMEN BROTHER!
