Stop flipping that stick and play the damn drums!

@DaneboJones That's pretty funny. Thanks for watching. C.B.

i love the innovation with these drums. As a bellydancer I would have to say your base rythm ("ayoub") would need more changes to make it good music for actual bellydance (a good one anyway). Great for dance trance though. I have never heard trap drums played like this... nice!
