Drums

I know, I know, I talk about the Society of Creative Anachronism too much.I am just very proud of most of my international extended family.Since we have been listening to drum music I figured I would give you some links so you could see what goes on in the SCA.Being in the SCA has exposed me to many talents. We have two giant events every year, Gulf Wars and Pennsic Wars. These are the events to go to if you are looking for something. I can find a teacher for nearly anything I wanted to learn about at one of these two events. There is a man who will teach you about archery equipment and around the corner a woman giving spinning and weaving lessons.What if drums are what make you happy? Just ask around and you can find a few people who are willing to teach you how to play. If you are listening carefully, you may even find a few who will teach you how to make one. http://scadrummers.tribe.net/ This link will take you to the threads of some of these drummers. Many people in the SCA are very welcoming and helpful. In fact there is a thread right now about making ceramic drums.I managed to find a few videos of musical activities in the SCA. In this first video you will not be able to see much, but you can hear the thirty drummers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9BVradnk5o This is a house hold, so they all pretty much know each other. I doubt highly that they have all practiced together regularly.This video is a SCA group. I do not know them. This is the type of stuff I would have to dance to. ^.^ I am, as I have said before, not very experienced. At the very end you will see the woman start trying to sit and dance... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCZmn7EI758
