drumming

We went for the support act, but Charlotte Church's set was better than I expected - I've not been to a gig that was so small yet so "staged" - the lighting was really impressive, and I was mesmerised by the drumming. There were 2 drum sets in use at the same time, and I love to see someone really immersed in what they are doing -their drumming was full bodied. I think I was particularly interested in the drumming as my son wants to take it up (note to self, must actually sort lessons. Buying the drumsticks and promising lessons is not enough). I like drumming (this may change if he ever gets his own drumkit). This may surprise you but I was chief percussionist in my high school orchestra. I never much liked the high hat or snare drum, but enjoyed the timpani, using the soft sticks, and got goose bumps when they were used on a cymbal tonight. I also have very fond memories of a brilliant weekend whilst I was living in Ireland - I saw a poster advertising an African drumming weekend in the beautiful Connemara area so booked on and turned up, not knowing anyone, and had such a wonderful weekend of rhythm, connection, and scenery.
Going out on a school night feels a tad reckless - it was struggle enough to get up this morning, so thought I'd write this now in case I have no spare minutes before work. I'd best get to bed, but I wish you much joy as you fully immerse yourself in whatever your day holds, with loads of rhythm, connection and some inspirational scenery too if you're lucky :)
