Apr 28/29 West End - Drum Making Workshop
Posted on behalf of Talkin' the Drum...
Drum making workshop
The motivation for offering drum making workshops is to provide the opportunity for people to put their own energy into creating their drum. By making one’s own drum with one’s own hands a strong connection is developed. The process also works to empower the budding drumming to maintain their drum, keeping it in tune and in good condition.
In truth to call this “drum-making” is slightly inaccurate, in that the drum shells offered by Talkin’ the Drum are carved in Africa, in the West African countries Mali, Ivory Coast and Ghana. Therefore it is in fact ‘drum skinning’ that is offered. The carving of a log into a drum shell is a more involved process and the drum shells from Africa are of the ideal type of timber and carved by hands that have mastered the process over countless generations. I select these shells from 100’s and hand pick them for sound quality. The drums vary in size and quality, depending upon their origin.
One concern many people have is that by doing it yourself the drum may not be made to the same standard as if constructed by a professional. However, I have developed a step-by-step process that ensures a professional outcome every time, helping each drum reach its potential. Only the best materials are used and no short cuts taken.
Below is a list of drum types and their costs. These costs cover all materials and personal instruction in the making of African djembe drums.
Malian (top of the range) = $600
Ivory Coast = $500
Ghanian = $450
Medium sized Ghanian = $400.
Availability of shells is limited and it is therefore necessary to register interest asap.
The dates for the workshop are April 28th OR 29th AND May 12th OR 13th.
For further information contact Elliott – 0407 372 554.

Fri 27 Apr Broadbeach - Tashi Lhunpo Monks
Posted on behalf of Ken Jacob Promos...
The Dalai Lama's Monks visit the Gold Coast.
Ken Jacob and The Art of Mother Earth together with the Dalai Lama's Office proudly present the famed multiphonic singers of Tibet's Tashi Lhunpo Monastery on Friday 27th April at 7.30pm.
The Tashi Lhunpo Monks will perform their unique style of singing, the monks simultaneously intone three different notes. They will also play traditional Tibetan instruments such as 10-foot-long dung-chen horns, drums, bells, cymbals and gyaling trumpets.
They will be accompanied by Tibetan musician and singer Tenzin Choegyal who will also perform traditional Tibetan folk music. Audiences will be moved by the composition of Tenzin Choegyal’s music and the risks he takes with rhythm and structure. Playing traditional Tibetan musical instruments and joined by the chanting monks, Tenzin draws on his traditional Tibetan roots to create music which expresses his thoroughly modern life. Since his world music debut in 1997 in Australia, Tenzin’s cantering rhythms, soaring vocals and flute have enchanted audiences around the globe.
"Tashi Lhunpo was founded by H.H. the 1st Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Gendun Drup, in 1447. It is one of the four great monasteries of Central Tibet which was supervised and looked after by the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas and has the glory of producing thousands of renowned scholars in the field of Mahayana Buddhist Philosophy. After the invasion of Tibet in 1959, Tashi Lhunpo Monastery was re-established at Bylakuppe in South India in 1972. The monastery has monks coming from Tibet and Himalayan regions like Spithi, Khunu, Ladakh, Ghashar and Sangkhar. At present there are over 250 monks including many Tulkus (reincarnate lamas). The monks have to go through a year intensive program of study of both sutra and tantra, debate, and are instructed in the creation of sand mandalas and butter sculpture, ritual performance, music, chanting, dance and basic literary skills in Tibetan and English. Each monk must also complete a two to three month meditation retreat for each of the principal deities and protectors, in order to qualify to perform their rituals. The cycle of retreats might take up to six years to complete.
The Tashi Lhunpo Monks will be performing on Friday 27th April at the Albert Waterways Community Centre, cnr Sunshine & Hooker Blvds, Broadbeach, (directly behind Pacific Fair next to the library) at 7.30pm - cost $20 + b/fee.

Fri 20 Apr Sth Bris - Tenzin Choegyal & Tashi Lhunpo Monks
Posted on behalf of Tenzin Choegyal...
The performances of the Compassionate Mandala Tour include the famed multi-phonic chanting, fascinating monastic ritual dances and the extraordinary voice and sounds of Tenzin Choegyal.
Best of all, the Compassionate Mandala Tour will be raising funds for the exiled Tashi Lhunpo monks and the Tibetan Children's Village.
Tashi Lhunpo Monastery is seat of the Panchen Lama, the second most important spiritual leader of Tibet and was founded by His Holiness the First Dalai Lama in 1447. The Communist Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959 and the subsequent Cultural Revolution wreaked havoc on the monastery which lost many precious scriptures, statues and images. Many monks were killed or imprisoned and those who remained could not practice their religion freely. In 1972, under the patronage of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tashi Lhunpo Monastery was re-established in the Southern Indian state of Karnataka and over 250 monks now live and study there in exile.
