So today I had to lead a drumming workshop for the Salvation Army at Sunbury Court. Yep. Me. African drumming workshop leader.
Yeah right! More like, Oscar winning actress - if I could pull that one off!
Actually it was alright, we did a few rhythms that I usually teach the kids at school, and most people seemed to sort of get something out of it. I managed to be a few pages in the book ahead of the participants!
The biggest hassle was getting the drums there - Ruby didn't know what hit her! Oh and the bruises on my knees and fingers from loading and unloading the 25 drums I took along! In fact I got my hand caught in some of the ropes on the djembe and my fingers swelled up terribly with like a blood blister...Youch!
When it comes down to it, there's no-one like Ruby to get the job done!
Check out the blood blister forming on my left hand index finger!
So now I have a new feather to my bow - Drum Maestro Kylie.... sounds kind of impressive...shame its a load of you-know-what!
