scout camp in the New Forest. At one point there were 6000 scouts on
site. We had kit for 100 and people came and went as they pleased. The
tent filled when it rained and thinned out when the sun shone. The
highlight for us was the Ghanain Scout Troupe coming and joining us.
First a couple of boys turned up and pumped up the drumming then a few

Yes, the biggest reason that I have pain issues now, is because my drum needs to be reheaded (it has about an inch long split along one side of the rim), so I have to bang the heck out of it to get much voice. I recently got to play a djembe with a nice tight, properly tuned head, and I was like WHOA!!! the difference was amazing. heheh I need to just break out that goat skin I bought and get to it. ;)
