Hello Kip,

Hello Kip, just realized it was you who recently put a friend request on Facebook, Im back home from being on the road going to Festivals & camps this summer, connecting with beautiful people & musicians feeling the cosmic energy of festivals.
I have been doing Bodhran workshops at some of the festivals, giving people the inspiration & energy of playing the bodhran, feeding the rhythms of Mother Earth to connect oneself with the bodhran as a channel to find rhythm within oneself. I have had a cosmic expierance of passing on the energy of playing the bodhran to teach & feel the vibration of the drums.
My journey of playing my drums in drum circles around festivals has been an enlightening & cosmic expierance, connecting with other drummers & the vibration of Mother Earth, the Sun & Moon.
My truly highs of my journey has been The Rainbow 2000 Music Camp, The Out of the Ordinary Festival, The Coedhills Equinox Celebrations & Summer Solstice at Avebury Stone Circle. These places & expierances i have had will remain in my heart & spirit deep in my soul forever, eternal in spirit.
MY HEART, SPIRIT & DRUMS
MY HEART FEELS AT ONE WITH MOTHER EARTH FLOWING WITH LOVE IN MY HEART MY SPIRIT FEELS AT ONE WITH THE SUN & MOON FLOWING WITH LIGHT IN MY SPIRIT MY DRUMS FEELS AT ONE WITH THE RHYTHM FLOWING WITH BEATS IN MY DRUMS.
Peace & Love Alasdair
This is a video taken at The Out of the Ordinary Festival of me in a drum circle at the Peace Stone Circle, feel the vibes of Mother Earth, Fire, Sun & Moon.
RAINBOW MUSIC CAMP was a Cosmic Expierance of Jammin with musicians & connecting with the Rainbow Tribe of people, feeling as one Tribe with Mother Earth, the Stars, Sun & Moon. Drum Circles round the Fire of Life into the Spirit & Soul of the Heartbeat of Mother Earth up into the Universe of Stars.
I did my first BODHRAN WORKSHOP, it well really well, feeding off the vibes of Rainbow Energy, positively passing on the Spirit of the Bodhran Drum to people, to give them inspiration, confidence, teaching & to develop your own style & sound of playing the Bodhran Drum beating to the Heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Jammed with some awsome musicians on stage & round fire, feeding on the energy of the Food of Life ~ Music, Drums, Mother Earth, The Tribe of Rainbow Warriors, the Stars, Sun & Moon.
DRUMCIRCLES round the Fire, generating the Rainbow Vibe of Life, making people dance & feel the cosmic energy of Mother Earth. I played Drums for the Circle Dance, 5 Rhythms Wave, Trance Dance, Ceilidh Dance, procession & jammin.
The Rainbow Warriors are as One Heartbeat As One with the Mother Earth of Life The Spirit of the Drums are as One Drumbeat As One with the Rainbow Vibe of Life The Cosmic Expierances are as One Love As One with the Rainbow Tribe of Life The Light of the Sun & Moon are as One Universe As One with the Rainbow Music Camp of Life Eternal.
if you don't mind my asking where did you get all your training on set and hand percussion? i've been playing bodhran for almost five years, but would love to check out other instruments in the percussion area. :)
Hello Kip, Ive been searching for bodhran players on my space,got a few already,i like your solo,i will have recording of my solo sometime. Let me know if you find any other bodhran players, thanks for the add, Peace Alasdair.
Hi Kip, I wanted to take a moment to let you know about my newest web adventure. After many bleary eyed hours scouring the web for high quality drumming education content (and becoming frustrated at the lack of consistent quality), I've found and assembled what I feel is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in drums and drumming. At the RhythmResource you'll find some of the highest quality drumming lessons (of all kinds: drumset, djembe, conga, tabla, bata...), interesting articles, incredible performance videos and much more. The best part is that all of it is completely free. Enjoy and spread the word!
Hope you're doing great. Have an excellent summer!
