I started playing again recently, just for my own relaxation. I used to perform about sixteen years ago. I started playing as a child and played back up percussion for a dance group my mother was a member of. I also played for another group at a local ren faire. My brother and I had a small band for a short period and played for dancers here and there. I own a Studio Elarabi sombaty drum. One of the best drums I have ever owned. Wished I would have had it in the beginning. I owned one of those ceramic Mid East drums in the beginning. I have owned a number of drums over the years but I only have the one pictured. So I will be lurking and reading posts here from time to time.
