I'm a player of instruments. My sole purpose in life right now is playing balinese gamelan , but if my memory serves me I also play a lot of other crap, like bass, guitar, drum kit, marimba, riq, doumbek, janggu, gyil, mandolin, piano, and whatever else I get my hands on. I currently have the pleasure of playing in an awesome gamelan ( Gita Asmara ), a korean samulnori quartet and a Ghanian Ewe percussion group .
