I know you're not supposed to date drummers, but...

[PS dave matthews just said "i like that line, 'i'm gonna shoot you up again' -- it's somewhere between sex and being saved".]

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I CAME HERE TO POST ABOUT!!!

I came to tell you that GLOBAL DRUMS @ the U of L tonight was...beyond phenomenal. I actually know don't any english words to express just how it made me feel.

I don't know what it is about DRUMS and DANCE that makes us want to participate, want to rock-out, want to...freakin' GET UP OFFA THAT THING and DO SOMETHING...but it's powerful. POWERFUL.



And these kids tonight are incredibly talented. We had African Drumming, Caribbean-style drumming, STEEL BAND, a little taste of Japanese Drumming...with piano, kit, shakers, congas -- pretty much every percussive instrument known to..man? Well, a lot of them anyway.

And the pinnacle of the evening for me had to be...Kyle Harmon onstage alone, rockin' his drum kit...the curtains slowly opening to reveal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!!! 7 more drum kits! EIGHT DRUM KITS ONSTAGE SIMULTANEOUSLY! THEY were tiiight, they were slick, they were smooth -- pretty much the 8 most attractive people on earth.

And that, my friends, is why you don't date drummers, because...your judgement flies away when you hear them play.



Also, check out dave matthews band and their new album stand-up -- they worked with a rap producer, who plays EVERYTHING, so the album is a treasure chest of shiny beautiful jewels.
I'm pretty sure I'll work with him next time I record.

HA!
