Drums

Mowgli had his first drum lesson today. 

He's learning hand drums because they can be played inside.  I'm not bringing a trap set in my house. 

I'll admit it, my expectations were low.  We had the lesson in one of the percussion studios at CMU where distractions abound.  There were gongs and computers and two trap sets and marimbas and all sorts of things.  So much stuff to play with.  Why would he want to sit down and play just one drum?

But he did absolutely fantastic.  He kept a reasonably steady 4-4, and learned 3 different patterns.  Even if he did have a lot of trouble switching between patterns.  They played along with a Santana song, and he absolutely loved that. 

Mowgli actually came home and wanted to practice!
