Rainy Train, an original tune for #playmusicontheporchday I am playing my Dulciborn Mountain Dulcimer with passive pickup, tuned B-f#-b and a One Man Band Suitcase drum, plus a Farmer Downbeat pedal with cymbal mount. Fun stuff!!! But the stormy weather...not so fun! 😱

Very cool blues!The tuning is interesting-is it common?I know I've seen Joni Mitchell play with the dulcimer tuned to a major chord.

Aww...thanks so much, @Kevin-R !  @Strumelia ... yes, seriously.  So thank you for planting that seed, my friend! flower   @Lois-Sprengnether-Keel - I am really glad you like it - thank you, my fellow Michigander!  sun   As to tempo, I tend to go the other way, darn it!  I have found that my feet are certainly NOT a reliable metronome.  Haha!  But it could be different for you.  It's worth a try, right?  Either outcome, it's still a lot of fun! drumroll jive

WOW!  Love it, Christine AND I see you're just down the road here in Michigan!!  I have a terrrr'ble sense of rhythm -- everything's "Lento."  People shouldn't sing with me because I might not play the tempo 100%.  Would something like this help me  or make it worse?clap clapper thumbsup clap

Thanks so much, @Salt-Springs , @Dusty-Turtle, @Strumelia, and @Ethan-Chastain!  I thought you guys just might like the suitcase drum.  Lisa - really, it's all your fault.  You started me down this road with your foot tambourine vid a few years back.  Haha - yet...thank you!!!  happydance heartbeat

I have been wanting to show you all my OneManBand Suitcase Drum for awhile now but didn’t have any PD vids or originals I could post.   I finally have one, so now you can see the new (but old) toy!   BTW, heat and humidity sure bring out it’s musty odor.   Phew!   (Still worth it rain happydance  ) Â
