Bravo!

I sometimes take my son Pablo to a drum circle. Next time I will bring a top too  :)

Happy birthday to Didier!!!  I remember him well.  I met him up in the apartment where the 2007 video (previously posted) was made.  In fact he is in that video, isn't he?

Hope his 77th year is a great spin around the whirled.

Love these videos for many reasons -- but especially because I love closing my eyes and listening to tops moving around on resonant surfaces like these drumheads.

Have gotten some great soundtracks out of large plastic bin lids (with or without the bottoms), large glass and plastic platters and bowls, guitar backs, and a tambourine, though the last was too small for comfort. Ball and textured tips give the most interesting sounds.

The audio is also one of the charms of rolling regen systems like the Top-No-Sis.
