New Dumbek Tracks

Here's a couple more dumbek tracks. The first track, "Maiden Voyage" is a solo I wrote for dumbek. It's my first composition for the drum, hence the name. The second track, Warm Up Cycle, is pretty much that. It's a series of licks I learned from Raquy (except the second phrase which is my addition) that she in turn learned from Bunyamin in Istanbul.

These tracks are also my first real attempt at recording, mixing and mastering in Pro Tools. . .

Me, percussion, cats, MC Frontalot

I recently spent a fun afternoon recording some dumbek and cajon tracks for my friend MC Frontalot. The first mp3 has some of my cajon playing in it, it's a celebratory track for a friend's cat's twitter page crossing the 1 million followers mark. Whoa. The second mp3 is from the same session and is a short dumbek track. It's not exactly album ready but you get the idea.
