Global Drum Project at the Flynn

I went out and caught the Global Drum Project at the Flynn last Saturday night. The sampling of international drummers was excellent (Mickey Hart, Zakir Hussein from India, Sikuru Adepojo from Nigeria, Giovanni Hidalgo from Puerto Rico)---and they were unbelievably skilled. The only comment I had was I wish there were more of them (for a larger sampling of world drumming). Although the show dragged in moments, the show had a ton of energy in general---which is hard to keep up for an hour and a half of drumming. I did think the show was the perfect length too. Mickey Hart is his same wacky, cosmic self---you gotta love it. He made a great emcee too. GDP was worth checking out. Hopefully we won't have to wait another ten years until they tour again!
