From my June 4, 2024, visit to @PercussiveArt in Indy: two short medium swing improvisations with brushes on the rare Billy Gladstone drumset donated by David and Colette Wood. Kit was also owned by drummer/author Chet Falzerano, who wrote an excellent book about Billy Gladstone.

Today I discovered that you totally can, in fact, take ice cubes (but not water) through airport security, what with ice being a solid and all. My inner dork finds this much more amusing than he probably should

A married couple in China found out that they had unknowingly crossed paths nearly 20 years ago as teenagers.

Ye and his wife, Xue, met in 2011 in Chengdu and have twin daughters, but the two unknowingly crossed paths in the summer of 2000, when they both visited the May Fourth Square in the seaside city of Qingdao (also called Tsingtao). Ye made the discovery while he was going through his wife's photos from her younger days to compare who their daughters resembled more.

Xue had gone to the square with her mother, who had just undergone an operation three months earlier and wanted to visit the city to relax. Ye was only there because his mother had suffered from appendicitis after booking the trip and asked him to go in her place instead.

When Ye saw the photo, he instantly recognized himself. "I heard her mention before that she had been to Qingdao, while I also went to Qingdao and took pictures at the May Fourth Square. When I saw the photo, I was taken by surprise, and I got goosebumps all over my body... that was my pose for taking photos. I also took a photo, it was the same posture (as captured in Ms Xue's photo), just from a different angle." Ye plans to bring the family back to the same spot in the future. "It seems that Qingdao is certainly one of the most special cities. When the children are older, we will go to Qingdao again, and the family will take a photo again."

This is Shrek. He was just your everyday, average, run-of-the-mill Merino sheep living in South Island, New Zealand when he decided to escape from his enclosure and make a break for it to some nearby caves.

He managed to live on his own for 6 years before he was eventually tracked down by his owner John Perrian, who had this to say when he finally found him, "He looked like some biblical creature."

While some sheep breeds naturally shed their wool (i.e., Bighorn sheep in North America), Merino sheep never do. Their wool will continue to grow until it completely engulfs them and even impairs their vision (what you would call "wool blind"). Domesticated sheep have evolved based on the way humans have groomed them for thousands of years. The earliest domestication of sheep dates back to 11,000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, where they were primarily used for meat, milk, and wool.

After 6 years without a shave, Shrek had enough wool on his body to produce 20 suits for large men. In total, his fleece weighed 60 pounds. Shrek's fleece was shaved off on national television and then auctioned off to support medical charities for children. He even got to meet the Prime Minister and has since been depicted in several children's books. Sadly, Shrek passed away in 2011 at the age of 16.

I love playing vibraphone with cymbals. I’m still in search of the best way to play with them but it’s so fun and can play and forget the time, especially on a rainy day like this.

I’ve been playing this amazing vibraphone by @LudwigMusser since ca.20 years.

I asked my @medialab student @LingdongH to take a look at it for inspiration and...

Remembering the great Elvin Jones who was born on this day in 1927. Regarded as one of the most impactful drummers in jazz history, Jones’ revolutionary style transformed the drums as a traditional time-keeping instrument.

He established a forceful polyrhythmic approach to the traps set, combining different metres played independently by the hands and feet into a propulsive flow of irregularly shifting accents. For over four decades, his innovative rhythmic technique has served as a catalyst for drummers who seek greater improvisational freedom.

Here, he is performing “Take the ‘A’ Train” with Duke Ellington and his orchestra live in Italy, 1966.
