MIckey Hart of the Grateful Dead consigned me to make him the “ultimate” Sekere (aka Shekere). This one took me about two minths and 4,000 or so beads more or less. I also made one for Airto as well. These days I am not making too many Sekere’s as it takes up so much time to make one. This one travels in Micky Hart’s traveling African Museum. To learn how to play the Shekere you can check out my “How to Play Shekere volume one or two for more advanced folks. You can also see photo’s of this Sekere I made in Micky Hart’s book, “Drumming at the Edge”. Please click this link to see or listen to my latest DVD, “How to Play the Sekere (Shekere) Vol.#2”.
