Loving those grooves bongo. very tidy indeed.

Love the innovative set aswell. So you're left handed, playing open handed?

I wish there were more hours in the day to toy with things like that.

First of all, thanks for your compliments.

To answer your question, yes, I am left handed and play in an open-handed manner on the drum kit. I made the decision many years ago to switch to open-handed playing - only just in the past 5 years of my playing that I have almost reached ambidexterity with my hands.

Four way independence is another matter, however. You can never woodshed enough and, ideally, to woodshed every day is a worthy goal. There are several avenues in the exploration of rhythm that I've been exploring: polyrhythms in 3 to 2, 4 to 3, and 5 to 4 relationships & single/double sticking combinations. This ties into what I call The Bongo Method.

BTW, the drums I play are PDP (Drum Workshop) with bongos, djembe, dumbek, LP micro snare, and an array of bells/sundry. Paiste, Zildjian, and Sabian cymbals to round out the toy box.

Thanks again !

Best Regards,
Bongo
