Re: PERCUSSIONISTS who loop in public

[drumtalk@highstream.net]

Hi

George Grant, percussionist and looper here.  I use tabla, zarb, frame 
drums, 
gadgets, and VOICE -- all together now.  I have always envied the Hindu 
gods 
with several arms.  Now I can lay down grooves and do a lot more voice 
over the 
top.  I am delighted to pull off solo gigs, and do lots more soloing.  I 
love 
playing with other musicians, but it is nice to be less codependent on 
them.

Keep me posted with your percussionists list.
