    Hey Tambo!  Can't wait to see you in Montclair.  I already bought the enhanced tickets presale through PJFan Club.  Got them at time stamp 12:02.  Anyway, I can't wait to see you since this is my wife and my 13th time seeing you perform live.  Tell the guys we say hi, since I met you in Princeton last year and we chilled otu side the venue.  And tell the other guys again it was nice to meet them in Princeton at your show with the Princetonians.  It was cool to hang with you and Mr. Reynolds after the show and just chill and converse.  Maybe Ben can come next time and we could get a drink at the Ivy in Princeton.  That is my only dieing wish.  Anyway, later sir and hope all is well, see you in November in the Jerz! :)  Peace, Ken :)  P.S.  I play your guys music everyday for my little Kindergarten through 5th grade students and they love it and sing along, it's fantastic!!!!!!!!! :)

    Hey Tambo! Excellent concert in Princeton. Your rhythms are contagious. I'll try to use them in my music class. I was the guy, Ken, you got to hang with after the show. Thanks for a great time. You guyds are the best. Give Ben my best, I didn't get to meet him or see him. Maybe next time. Oh, and tell Reynolds I'll be happy to come teach him about measures on the road so he can count with you.
    :) lol Good luck in Baltimore! :) Later, Ken

    So, I like to check out the top friends from musicians sights, they usually have good musicians linked to their sites...but looking at your top friends made me wonder...how did a man so tied into the Christian music industry end up touring with Ben Folds? Just Curious.

Blurbs

About me:

I am a professional tambourine player currently on tour all across the country. My tambourine work has been compared to that of legends such as Davy Jones of the Monkees and Stevie Nicks. I am not only a expert at the art of tambourine playing, but I am also a professional collector of exotic tambourines and other hand-percussion instruments from around the world which I have personally excavated in my travels. Though I have mastered almost all of these different types of tambourines, in my current professional career I play exclusively with LP's Cyclops tambourine with dimpled-brass jingles. I DO NOT USE NICKEL-PLATED STEEL-ALLOY JINGLES and I do NOT endorse the use of such. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up just yet, but I am "in talks" with a major percussion company to launch my own line of Kanjira-style frame drum tambourines which will feature my airbrushed portrait on the skin head.

To answer another recurring question from my fans, YES, I am also looking into recording a duet album with fellow jingler Hi-Hat Man. Due to both of our busy schedules touring worldwide, I'm not sure when it will happen, but TRUST ME when I say we're brainstorming how to make this possible for you guys!!!

Many people have asked me if I have advice for young up-and-coming hand-percussionists who want to have a long and varied career as I have had and to them I say "Just keep jinglin'." In the meantime, I highly recommend the below video tutorial by STAGG university's Matt McKenzie, a colleague of mine as WELL as a good friend.



Below is a video clip of me performing live. I appear at approximately 3:22 in the video. CHECK IT OUT!

Who I'd like to meet:

Stevie Nicks, other tambourine and hand-percussion enthusiasts.
