Me and 2 of my friends caught the drumming bug after being taught some basics by two other people staying in the same place over new year... Most addictive thing I've ever done, could never really understand why people are into drumming but am now definitely hooked (especially now my sore paws have recovered )...
Anyway, problem is no drumming without drums, one of the girls with drum recommended at shop in Wales that sells decent djembe drums for about £90 quid, but the trek down there is just too far, apparently there used to be a place in Lancaster too, but nobody seems to remember it or know if it still exists...
I know I've probably picked the wrong forum, but hey, stranger questions have been answered on here, so if anybody knows of any good shops selling djembes or people to contact within reasonable distance from Preston, please let me know!!! Also, any tips on what to look for when choosing would be great (so far, the main advice has been to stay away from anything that's cheap with lots of carvings and to preferably go for double-strung, and that's pretty much it...)
