the beat goes on.....
Posted by Bron (Canberra, Australia) on 15 October 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.
Here's my dear older son Toby - a very keen percussionist. He and Sam are in a band together which tours each year :)
I've just looked at the camera this was taken with and realised I didn't take it! I've taken so many of Toby and got this one from the archives but it was taken by a friend Nick!! I'll give him all your positive feed back! Thanks on his behalf blushingbron!!

Wow, he looks very intense and into his music. What band is it? I'd like to check it out. :)

@e.: The band is Dahahoo e - sort of ska dance music,
I think they're on myspace :) Both boys are in it
Sam's also in Mr Fibby and The Ellis Collective
cheers Bron

Cool shot, an intense and action filled shot, you can see those cymbals bashed and almost hear the sound of the drums.

Nice shot even though the people in drum sets are the most difficult musicians to photograph. I really like the movement.

hey Bron I can feel the rhythm on this shot!!--I was a drummer in a band called"The Memphis Sect" in the late 60's to early 70's and had a great few years--we were only part-time and got to no.130,037 in the charts then..
I finished my illustrious career playing in a Jazz trio on Fri. nights in a local club
but I still tap out the beat on any handy surface,when the mood takes me--once it's in you blood you can't help yourself
cheers--billy
