“Rhythm is the soul of life. The whole universe revolves in rhythm. Everything and every human action revolves in rhythm.”
- Babatunde Olatunji
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present”.
- Babatunde Olatunji
“The spirit of the drum is something that you feel but cannot put your hands on,It does something to you from the inside out . . . It hits people in so many different ways. But the feeling is one that is satisfying and joyful. It is a feeling that makes you say to yourself, ‘ I’m glad to be alive today! I’m glad to be part of this world!”
- Babatunde Olatunji
My thanks, appreciation, and gratitude to Babatunde Olatunji. This site and my involvement in playing and making drums was inspired by a concert in Santa Cruz in 2000 featuring Baba and his troupe. Since then staying in Rhythm with the world around me has been a important part of my life.
Expect the BEST, Richard
