    Drums? Nou en of…..!
    Allerlei soorten slagwerk, gestemd (pauken, xylofoon, marimba) en ongestemd (drums). Toen ik nog een lief jochie van 7 was (kun je je dat voorstellen…..) liep ik al met een trommeltje voor m’n buik. In militaire dienst heb ik 21 maanden bij “de muziek” gezeten en tot voor kort speelde ik bij onze muziekvereniging in het dorp.
    Ik zal je niet vermoeien met wat ik op dat gebied in mijn leventje allemaal heb gedaan….
    Groet uit Renesse,
    Adri

  • Ellen replied

    Daar vermoei je me nooit mee, want muziek was mijn fav. hobby!
    (Heb zelf klassiek gitaar en viool gedaan)
    Ook eens een drumstel geprobeerd, wat ik heel leuk vond.
    Zo’n trommeltje net als jij had zoek ik nog voor mijn rat-foto’s. Maar is heel moeilijk te vinden in klein formaat.
    Mochten we ooit nog eens met de club foto’s gaan maken, moet je er alles eens over vertellen.

  • Bonnie T.  Barry

    Bonnie T. Barry

    How cute is that! Maybe he thought the drum was a table top and he was waiting for lunch to be served! Maybe there were some percussive rumblings in his tummy and he was hoping for a meal. So why am I rambling like this? To prove a point. A good image tells a story or spins a story in the head of the viewer. This one has succeeded in doing just that! Great photo as always!

  • Ellen replied

    :)) He was eating the vanilla-pudding which was on top of the drum!
    So, well seen! And thanks again very much!

  • RakeshSyal

    RakeshSyal
