I'm really looking forward to more tidbits of drum lore in "Planet Drum", the coffee-table companion book to the drumming CD Mickey Hart put out.
As far as the next steps of my project goes, I am still waiting to hear from my contacts in the Lakota community, to see if I could visit or talk with some drummers there. But in the meantime, I am planning to go to the "Cherish the Children" pow-wow in St. Paul, as well as to hopefully attend a session on "African Drumming for Everyone" at an Minnesota State U this month. (I was very excited to see this being offerred!)
In the next few weeks, my plan is to transition from the research phase, to the experiential phase--attending events, and talking with experts in the field.
