That is great, but could be even better if you could perform a Zaouli Gouro dance. It is named so in the honor of a talented daughter of a head of the Gouro tribe. She invented the dance to celebrate a joy of life.
actually kumina is traditionally played with only two specific drums ...the drummers sit on the drums facing each other and the stick pattern (the katta) is played by a third musician on the body of one of the drums... the katta pattern is also played with a grater and fork and with shakers added sometimes...not one of these drums they are playing is authentic... but hey they sound good still !
