I wasn’t sure where to put these. But this seemed the closest without starting a new thread for one post. Just trying to “use my time wisely,” which my first grade teacher gave me a “U” (Unsatisfactory) in.

So, a few musical videos to take your mind off of Quarantinalism, and to put it back on Quantization:

Today’s video explores the wonders of the Cajon. And iPhone cinematography...

Nice, keep it up! I love smaller latin percussion stuff. I have a collection of small drums I never really learned how to play properly - bongos, a tongued, tonal box drum, a closed-bottom ceramic moroccan bongo type thing, etc. I'm committing to the bongos though, I'm gonna see them through so I can at least track them with my drum kit.
 
I’m eventually planning a bongo video. This week should see a dumbek video, so maybe that will help with your other drum. Thanks for the vote of confidence, btw!

Hey @"klezmer electro-thug beats", is this the drum you were talking about?

What I've got is a "tbilat" - pair of ceramic closed-bottom drums bound together like bongos or tabla, but I like dumbeks' sound too.

...Actually now that I think of it, somewhere in the back of a closet I think I do have a dumbek, or other type of goblet shaped drum - a tiny copper one from a tourist tat shop I think. So, the vid's still useful! I didn't even know how they're held while playing.
 
Oh, I’m glad you got something out of it. I have something like the tbilat as well; where are yours from?
Someone gave the clay bongos to me, but supposedly these particular ones came from Kenya...

I can't remember exactly where I got mine, some street market in california, probably was being sold by some "pastafari dreadlock rei clif bar buttlock" to quote ap. Somewhere I got it in my head that they're Moroccan, they can be but I'm not sure mine actually are. I really like the ring of the tiny drum, it's like a really tightly tuned bongo, as bongos should be. I'm just so happy to have a proper set of bongos finally I'm focused on them, but the tbilat is great fun.
 
I just looked up pix of tbilat. Just like mine, and apparently Moroccan as you say. But the dude that gave them to me did Peace Corps in Kenya. So maybe he stopped in Morocco??

Was trying to make a segue in a mix from the well-known DJ Krush tune, and thought I'd play about with the sample source and ended up with this:

 
Got bored, made this in an afternoon, pretty happy with it...

No, I didn't make a beat, but I wonder what Jeff's hourly rate is considering that he knocks this out in 15 minutes:
