Heartfelt. The immense appreciation is palpable. Morgan is so patient and respectful! Souleymane is so humble and eager to show his own appreciation. This kind of footage is so invaluable. Thank you, Morgan and Souleymane.

I love it when multiple drumsets are firing off! 77 Boa Drum by Boredoms is the extreme example - piece of history! Upsilon Acrux is the more sustainable math rock example - rad band! Here we have joy and improv - so cool *edit: duh! SIMPSON AND MOCTAR or MOCTAR AND SIMPSON make a record!!

@vvviiixxx8745 Жыл бұрын

Ah dang, Upsilon Acrux is a name I don’t see too often. Always loved Last Train Out. Nubya Garcia’s 5ive also has some amazing double-drummer action on a couple of tracks, and it’s wonderful. I was also working on a double percussionist project this year with a super talented friend, but life gets in the way so hopefully the future will behold better creative surroundings. Percussion is just so uniquely inspiring!

Can anyone identify the beat Souleymane is playing at 1:59? It could be improvised obviously but since I don't listen to Mdou Moctar I wonder if anyone here knows it from a song? I'd love to hear it and be able to study it for more than a few seconds haha.
