It appears, inshallah, that I'll be Loch Salann for Defenders', and a
few days before and after. In my never-ending quest to spread good
(and, insofar as possible, authentic) drumming, I'd like to get
together with Middle Eastern drummers, and do a little riq jamming and
teaching. Maybe even a couple of times.
Would there be interest? Where/when would be good places to line it
up? I have four riqs of various types and quality I could loan,
though as always it's best to have your own tools.
Peace,
Jahan Isfahani (sometimes confused with Niccolo, tho we look nothing alike!)
PS: Riq is a style of tambourine. Played well, and in all its varied
ways, it can be all the percussion a ME ensemble needs. Ranwulf, one
of the SCA's drum gods, calls riq the workhorse of ME percussion.
