   About mind_drummer
I'm a french canadian guy from Rouyn-Noranda, who happened to love music at young age and always like drums as music instrument. Unfortunately it was only in my mid 30s that I was able to furfill the dream of my lifetime. Getting my own drum kit and begin my exploration of world beats.

I'm also a big game hunter like moose or cariboo, which I hunt primarily for the meat which is excellent & very low in fat.

I have a beautiful 17 years relationship with my wife and I'm father of two kid, a 11 y/o daughter and a 7 y/o son.


***Dont forget that I'm an hobbyist (allowed to get behind the kit only half hour per day) & play for my pleasure and the fun of it and I consider drums as the ultimate life therapy. ***

Pulse and rhythm,
Crisp and bold,
Patterns flowing out and in

The sound of the drum
Beats in my soul
As the sound of my heart
Beats in my chest

Two sounds, one beat
The heart beat of my
The drum beat of my soul

Two sounds, one beat
Make me whole
Guide the path and destinations
That is my life.

Image hébergée par servimg.com Quand le blues croise la Country, Lorelei pointe alors le bout de son nez pour danser sur un Boléro d'un rythme binaire afin de se faire les poches le temps d'une chanson, la fée Mélusine s'étant penché sur son berceau, le soleil couchant, les étoiles se dévoilent.
Un petit clin d’œil pour déposer mon encre indélébile de ma promenade sur ton space

J'pensais m'habituer mais cé pas ça que j'voulais comme couleur. Le pire c'est qu'il commence a vraiment bien sonner. Disons que je ne refuserais pas une offre "intelligente" pour me permettre de le changer pour un Butter Burst ou un Wineburl Burst... On fait avec... mais peut-être pas jusqu'à la fin des temps!
