FINALLY a video of my playing the Halo drum
I’ve had the Halo drum for a week now, it’s #29 in the Pygmy Scale straight from Kyle at Pantheon Steel. I’m not great at it, just playing a few patterns, but I hope to learn how to compose on it in the upcoming months. Folks have been pounding on my to get a video [...]
