Vincent Legris, a drummer I worked with in Paris sent me a drum track he played (not programmed). He knows I like unusual time signatures and this is 6/8 but binary, not swing, not a waltz.
"It's a vibe" as some of my friends would say.๐Ÿ˜

question:

In the we had a toy for making that actually had a potterโ€™s wheel. The commercial for it had a song that went something like this:

๐ŸŽถ โ€œyou take a ball of clay / you pinch it with your fingers / you put it on the wheel / and make the wheel go round!โ€ ๐ŸŽถ

This is all I can remember. YouTube and Internet searches havenโ€™t helped.

Can any of you wonderful people tell me what the name of this toy was?

Thanks!

@admore

The Pottery Wheel by Ronco might be it! I only wish I could find the commercial! Thank you!

serpicojam,
@serpicojam@mas.to avatar

@rryder

This might be it too . . . the commercial (as I remember it anyhow) was far more manic and directed at kids.

I wish I could find it!

serpicojam,
@serpicojam@mas.to avatar

@j @admore

For sure that might be it! If only I could find that commercial . . . Iโ€™ve been carrying that song around with me my whole life! ๐Ÿคช

A friend and fellow drummer just showed up to my practice studio with a case full of new cymbals from the company she endorses and I'm super jealous.

@jasonisaacdrums

Is it possible for you to divulge the brand? ๐Ÿ™‚

serpicojam,
@serpicojam@mas.to avatar

@jasonisaacdrums

Interested to know whether youโ€™ve played them and what you think . . . asking because Iโ€™ve only seen/heard them via YouTube clips!

Short video of my drumming progress.
Paul took it without me knowing so not the best angle.

Me, practicing drumming.

Between the end of the draft and tourists spending their last night in Detroit on a Saturday, and the people who came in for the Tigers game, on top of first Saturday with nice weather normal shenanigans, downtown sounds ROWDY tonight

Whenever we encounter a photo booth, @KevBot and I will usually try to stop and take some photos to document our day.

As a result, we've ended up with a LOT of photo booth strips, but my favorite is the one in the lower right of this photo where a woman was watching us take photos in the booth and, at the very last second, I asked if she wanted to be in our photo and she jumped in.

Lady, if you're out there, you were a great sport and we remember you fondly.

The worst thing about having a birthday the day after Cinco de Mayo is that everybody is always like "Here's a present for both Cinco de Mayo AND your birthday."
