My Little Djembe

I’ve been taking drumming lessons in a small group, taught by one of the guys in Rhythmicity.

The first week I learned that my little djembe is really too small for me. I came home and told my spouse, “I want a bigger djembe!”

The second week I got to play one of our teacher’s big bass African drums. I came home and told my spouse, “I want a dunumbe!”

He asked me the same question I’d asked when he took up the guitar and started bringing home more and more instruments: “How many drums do you need?”

I gave him the same answer he’d given me: “More!”
