Where am I? Pounding old school rhythms
No digital looping for these guys. Their job is to lay down seriously traditional drumbeats for historical re-enactment purposes at an 18th century fort whose name youve heard of. There are a couple of big lakes next door. The French built this place before the Americans took it over. Of course, these guys have their period costumes, right down to their boots, and their rustic instruments (nope, not pencils real drumsticks). There ought to be a fife player here too. But you know fife players. Hes probably still in the limo playing whist with the groupies.
