[surrealIdeal]

this is very inspiring, love it. where can I buy those kicking foot-drums?

[KudzuRunner]

@surrealIdeal : Farmer Foot drums dot com. Pete Farmer in Bellingham, Wash. But I don't think he makes this particular set any more.

how does he think when he plays?...i dont think he does.

[KudzuRunner]

@phatenderske: Good question! Zen practitioners talk about "no mind": just doing it with bare attention; just letting it happen. That's where much of my best music comes from. I work on lots of things quite consciously when I practice; I also do repetitive patterns that train and upgrade my reflexes. But when I play, I just play and let the music flow out, without over-thinking it.

Who would dislike this? I mean, I understand being neutral on the music style...

[bruniwmcf]

"just doing it..." "and let the music flow out" this ist the real "Kunst" in german.

this comes from "können".

You can. you just do. sometimes I try but I should practice more just to have the

courage to myself.
