Response To Rick's Query

At last Sunday's meeting Rick asked the group to write to him about our thoughts regarding the drum ensemble. I now have the opportunity to do so.

I love being a part of this ensemble and I support Rick's vision. He touched on just a few of his ideas for performances, incorporating various styles of drumming from different cultures. I think they are wonderful. I can sense that I am a part of a creation that is on the cutting edge and I can feel the energy and excitement that surrounds it when Rick speaks of his vision for this ensemble. I want to learn more and grow as a drummer. I have discovered that I have a talent which feels so natural to me that I want to explore it fully. I am drawn to the creative expression of drumming and have a desire to continue under Rick's tutelage. I would love for this group to be in existence for the long haul.

Thank you, Rick, for the time and effort you put into this ensemble and for your contagious exuberance!

P.S. I am thrilled with my new drum. It's a perfect fit! Also, thank you, Rick, for the compliment you gave me today. It is truly my pleasure to be of assistance to you and to Laural. :)
