So the last month or so has been very much up and down for me. Some very good and rewarding times and some real downers too. The latest is the sudden passing away of my friend and drum instructor Kevin

Eef. It's never an easy time, learning a friend's died.. I've known that only a couple times so far, thankfully, although I suppose that number's only set to increase as we reach our sixties and seventies. In one case, it was horribly.. well, frustrating? He wasn't an overly social sort, so it was quite normal for him to be all but invisible for prolonged periods, and not reply to email for weeks, so it took a while for the quiet worries to go sounding the alarm, culminating in leaving a phone message noting I'd be calling the police if he didn't reply soon to let me know all was well. I did so, but a friend was able to ring the doorbell first, and found out the news. *sigh*
But as you say, that's only one of the memories we have of friends who've shuffled off this mortal coil - there's also everything else we experienced in those months or years

Losing family and close friends is what I dread a lot. I know it's the natural course of things but nevertheless it's something I await with open arms. And my mom seems to have fallen ill again, needed to be taken to the hospital again :/
As for drums, it's a djembe drum I've been playing. I already a small-sized one but the ones Kevin brought round were much bigger. With my shovel-sized hands it was far better to practice on those.
