Carold---------------------------------------------------------- Greetings Drummers, A quick intro to those that are new to the list, my name is Tabasco and I have the honor of working with and orchestrating the drummers who will be performing in the great circle at the man. A word to the wise, I am not a drummer have never been a drummer and have very limited ability to follow a beat, so asking me which drum you should bring will be futile to say the least. I also do not teach nor organize teaching. Please look locally. This list is for announcements (meaning you cannot post to it). I will pass on information about Burning Man that is relevant to you and important if you're planning on participating in the Drummers Collective. Please read the postings and when requested please follow the instructions and respond with your interest. This helps me to plan pre-playa and allows me less stress on the playa. If you do not want to be apart of this list please look at the unsubscribe information at the bottom of this e-mail. If you know others who are not on this list and might want to be please fwd this to them or let them know they can e-mail me at drummers@burningman.com. There are two ways to participate as a drummer for the man. First you can attach yourself to a fire troupe that is planning to perform in the Great Circle. Each group will have its own standards and requirements, and you will be required to follow their direction. This is an opportunity to work with choreographed pieces and a planned beat that will be worked out with that group. In this scenario you will be under the guidance of the fire troupes shin (leader). The second way to participate is in the ambience groups. This is for drummers who are unaffiliated with specific fire troupe and willing to be grouped with other drummers in the Great Circle. You will then be placed in the inner circle in areas that lack drummers to create music for fire troupes and the participants around the circle. In order to be involved in the drummers collective as an Ambiance drummer you will be required to sign in on the playa before the required meeting/rehearsal that happens on Thursday of the burn. This is where I collect the final list of names separate drummers into groups and give you a chance practice and get familiar with the people you will be drumming with. Then on Saturday you will pick up a laminate which will get you into the great circle. More details will come later, and I will start putting together a list in late May or early June. Please be sure to read the instructions and pay attention to the details. *** Discount tickets*** If you were a drummer last year, you signed in, were at rehearsal and the burn you will be able to purchase discount tickets. If you did not sign in or failed to make it to rehearsal, please don't bother asking. If you picked up a discount ticket and failed to make sign in or make rehearsal you will not be able to get a discount ticket from me ever again, don't ask. First year drummers will need to pay for their tickets via regular means. If you are in a fire troupe you will need to discuss this with the shin of the group. ALL DISCOUNT TICKETS WILL BE WILL CALL *****TAKING NAMES FOR AMBIANCE DRUMMERS STARTING NOW**** READ EVERY PART OF THIS E-MAIL, FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS. Please remember that if you want to be a drummer you will need to check in before NOON Thursday of the burn. You will then need to be at the rehearsal that eve. I will be there regardless of dust storms, rain, and serious hang over. If you fail to show up or sign in you will lose your spot to people that do show up. I have a limited # of spaces and every year half of the drummers who sign via e-mail miss this opportunity. If you are in the med tent during rehearsal bring a note from them for an excuse otherwise there is no excuse. I want to play too please respect my time, I will not hunt you down, I will not say oh you just missed rehearsal sure I'll explain all to you now, ya you can get in. Sorry to be so blunt, but every year there are 50 excuses. I have other responsibilities and again want to play to. I will need the following info NAME (REAL/LEGAL)? Playa NAME? Email address: Year you have Drummed as an Ambiance Drummer Local(city and state)? Do you need/want/are eligible for a discount ticket? Send the e-mail to Tabasco@burningman.com . Change the Subject line to: "DRUMMER INFO 2008" if you fail to do this I will ignore it. If you do not get a response within 14 days please check in. Please submit before July 15th first come first serve, if I run out of places you will be added to the waiting list.

Or you may have every intention of showing up, but run into 1-4 other "events" that you didn't know about which turn out to be more cool than you could have ever imagined the original event being!

This turns into a What Where When booklet given to you when you enter Black Rock City. Keep in mind that 'schedule' and 'plan' take on different interpretations on the playa. You may show up to find the 'event' isn't happening. But you'll still get to meet new peoiple so it's all good.

I've been dancing for over 20 years now and am looking forward to all the belly dancers and the fun. Now, suddenly, I will be bringing a drummer, also a virgin. He wanted to know if there were other drummers and opportunities. BTW, we both play drums and melody instruments. So, he wants to know what the venues might look like. I get the Center Camp take over but what else can we get into.
