aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! so excited i no longer know english or french! nor even remember that i'm hungry! i got my darbouka/doumbek/tabla/thing!! got up at 6:30 am so i could go to gare St. Lazare to meet the ebay guy who sold it to me. and the entire way back on the train, my fingers were turning purple from their yearning to start playing it. but its a bit moist right now, so i need to wait a few seconds for the top to dry and get more taught.
... now if only i knew how to play it.

grrrr!! I can't play a clean KA no matter what I do!! if I don't stop and take a nap now, I'll be remembered as "the girl who used to have a middle finger and a ring finger on her left hand until she decided to become a tabla player"

ugh......right hand hurts from the TEKs, which sounds half ok, but the KA die KA! I think it's louder from my palm slapping the rim than my finger tapping it.
on the other hand (hehe) my DOUM sounds good! and the PA sounds ok when I remember to do it. =)
