Tambourine man…
Jan 7th, 2006 by Jon
I think I’m going to get myself a tambourine. I’m supposed to be a drummer, but I have no drum kit. I’ve got drum sticks. I’ve even got a drum pad. I’ve even got some electronic drum sticks that simulate the noise of a bass drum and cymbals. What’s missing from this picture? Yes, you’ve got it; a tambourine.
They’re pretty cool instruments, I reckon. The magic numbers are a big reason for me wanting one. I think I’ll also rock at playing the tambourine.
So, that’s decided then. This weekend I’ll get myself a tambourine, unless I forget, or realise that I can’t afford one because I never have any money because I bought a single speed bike that now also only has a single pedal!
I might go and see King Kong too.
Or a good alternative is an Irish drum, a large tambourine with drumming action. Can be difficult to master apparently.”It’s all in the wrist”
If I can find one, I’ll get one! I’m off to Ireland in a month or so, and maybe I’ll be able to find someone to show me how to do it!
I think all we’ll be doing in Ireland is getting horribly drunk mate. I’m not sure that the Irish guys will let us do anything else.
