Bought this today from a 68 year old drummer who had lots of stories.
Heard about how he met Eric Clapton on Concorde.
And got some tips from Ginger Baker in London. The main one being "go back to Africa to learn drumming".
And photographed Mike Fleetwood.
And ...
Lovely morning of chatting music & rhythm.
He had been given this doumbek as a gift in the Middle East.
It's a ceramic shell, delicately inlaid with mother-of-pearl mosaic.
Beautiful.
