Well I've gone and done it this weekend....bought a drum. Egged on by my son who had seen the drummers at the festival we went to a few weeks ago. We both loved the sound and the feelings it gave us. We really felt the vibrations deep inside our tummies.
Anyway while out at the weekend we came across a shop selling musical instruments and there was a bodhran (which I've been told you pronounce bow-run?). I don't think our neighbours will love us very much, unless we drum a rhythm which affects them!?
The rest of the weekend has been spent in the summerhouse at the bottom of the garden learning how to use the thing. I think we're getting the hang of it and how to use the beater. Afterwards we both felt very good - a great way of getting rid of feelings.
I'm not a musical person - I cannot play any kind of instrument, though I enjoyed the recorder when I was a child. So here's to our drumming. I'm going to have read up on it and learn a bit more. I don't want to end up with one of those impulse buys that you never bother with again!
I'm off to a do a bit of drumming now and see if I can drum away this rain shower we're having! :)
LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR DRUM BEATS
