Scott Thiemann playing the Gyil (that he made himself!) at the Elements Percussion premiere performance.
Drummer Extraordinaire Scott Thiemann and I have formed a percussion group called Elements Percussion. We had our premiere performance on Wednesday night and it was quite a success. Despite rainy weather, there was a huge, noisy crowd for the ”Re-Start with Art” Veterans Day Art Auction held as a benefit for Baltimore Station. We played for over an hour and played several pieces using a variety of drums and percussion instruments including congas, riqqs, kalimba, gyil (see picture above), bells, and doumbek. We also played along to live loops which we recorded on the spot. All in all, it was a great night.
