Haaaaaaaaaaang drum
I went to the open mic last night at the Milkboyeeee coffee shop in Ardmore. It was fantastic fun. That makes week 2 in a row. I think that is my open mic of choice. I really like that one the best and just feel at home there. I've decided to make that my main weekly open mic and then if I have time/energy I'll hit up other open mics. So last night was cool. I played 2 songs... decided to play A Place That Fits and then Over The Bar Scene. Everyone seemed really into it! I got off stage feeling that awesome performance feeling that I get every time I perform. I just like to play my music for eager music listeners. So yea everyone seemed to enjoy it lots. And I enjoyed it too.
Something else neat that I wanted to mention was about this cooool and different instrument that I haven't seen in a long time! Later on in the evening a dude came up to the stage and played the Hang Drum. It's a pretty freakin awesome drum that sounds... well... way cool. It's just world percussion drum and it just makes super odd cool interesting melodic notes that really don't sound like they are coming from that little instrument! Let me see if I can find a video...
Something like that. Anywho yea everyone just kinda watched in amazement because basically almost everyone in there had never seen the instrument before.
I'd seen it once before in the park across the street from work where I jog sometimes. I was so taken a back by it that I almost tripped over my own feet and then almost jogged into a small group of joggers coming at me in the other direction.
I then kind a walked over near the guy playing and just watched. Then I asked him what it was when he finished and then I went home and watched a TON of youtube videos of it. That was a few years ago though. I hadn't seen one in person ever since... and then there it was last night!
Way cool.
The video above is just some random guy and not the actual guy playing from last night.
Oh and also... I know what you are thinking.... "It looks like a flying saucer!!!" I thought the EXACT same thing when I first saw one!
I was expecting little green men to pop out of it at any moment and dance around next to the guy playing it.
Like that guy... except miniature! Also... seriously what the? Umm... ok then. Annnnnd he's got running shoes on! He could chase after me on the street! That's just creeeeeeeeepy.
Okeys well I'll be sure to post anything fun/interesting that happens at next weeks open mic!
