July 10 2005:
Banging Away

It was only on Friday, that I heard Sandy Nelson’s “Let there be Drums” on the radio – one of the great instrumentals from the 1960’s. Whenever I hear that, or any other fabulous drum solo I am always in awe.

This guy did a pretty good on his own sort of drums today and the crowd loved it.

Also at the Croydon Mela today were a couple of willing participants for my Engaging Strangers series as well as young girl looking petrified!







This time last year I was admiring a certain dancer from the ‘Bollywood Steps’

I love the way he's howling here. There's something primitive about drums and this wonderful portrait captures that. GMV too.

very effective contrast between the shaky hands and the "nailed" teeth.

Exciting shot. You've really captured his emotion. I have a drum like that, but I don't play it very well.
