h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I started playing the bongoes at Christmas. It's great fun, but I'm not sure how well I'm doing, especially with some of the basic rhythms anyone got some advice?

I never played bongos. Do you know someone who plays who can get you started?

I'm learning from a book and cd, which has been fine, but I've had a couple of difficulties getting the same noise and I don't know why...

I've seen a drumming workshop that I think I'll go to, but it's 5 pound a go, which is quite expensive. I'll go at least once though

A friend of mine is a drummer of sorts. He has some medieval drums. I'll ask him if he plays bongos.

I am very unmusical. Can't sing....don't play any musical instruments. I'm strictly a listener.

I wouldn't say I have the best sense of rhythm, but I think I'm gonna give the drumming group a try on monday if it's on [Bank Holiday Monday]. It's quite good fun, because you just concentrate on the one thing.

Hi there. So a Bank Holiday is like our paid days off work. National holidays. I trust they were so named because the banks close.

I sent you Amy's e-mail.

I once bought my nephew a set of drums for Christmas. That was nearly 40 years ago and my sis is just now forgiving me for it.

Trying to kill time until we close. Have 34 minutes to go.

Rats.

They're times when places close, or pay their staff extra for being there unless you work for the university like me and you're expected to work for normal rates...

Drums are good fun!
