Amazing album by Yasar Akpence. Heard this while passing a shop in Istanbul and went in to buy the thing. Great work on the doumbek. Drum fans will love this. http://www.tulumba.com/storeItem.asp?ic=MU9398933EH628 (track one is my favorite).

Here he is live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmWBSf22fHM
And a fantastic piece (music only): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IxnmLGpwiw

Very nice. I listened to everything you linked, and it is very interesting. I am not very much into hand percussion, preferring to just hit things with sticks.

(One of my favorite drummer quotes is by Neil Peart: "I have the best job description in the world, hitting things with sticks".)

I may have to get one of those hand drums tho, and give it a try. It won't really fit in with my blues/rock band, but it might be fun. Sounds like a great idea, just what I need, another drum to go along with the 29 I have at home all ready, lol.
