Last gig in who knows how long… Lovely to be back with the @pasadenarooforchestra in Bradford-On-Avon this evening for some (hopefully) swinging tunes! Happy Christmas one and all! Stay safe! X @ Wiltshire Music Centre instagram.com/p/CXopLO2g0Qi/…

An awful lot of sleigh bells heard in the past week! Been great fun playing Muppets Christmas Carol around the UK! instagram.com/p/CXDnYeNgm3-/…

@TomGreenleaves @kursedtea @philbertpauken I’m still that child

@kursedtea @philbertpauken I am all those children

THIS is why parents should persevere with kids and lessons - “I hate whatever instrument” is often just ‘this isn’t easy’ … not that they actually hate it.

@TomGreenleaves Moin! The Kaiserschmarrn is one of your favourites I hear!

Off we go again… at least I’ve got some legroom this time! #wanderingminstrel #gatwick #hamburg #probespiel #practisetime @ North Terminal - Gatwick Airport instagram.com/p/CVunczFg8T7/…

@philbertpauken @RSNO @CCC_LoveMusic @emmalindars @lanceellington @theusherhall @GCHalls This you need a bigger stick box Paul… 😂

It’s been a BUSY weekend for @RSNO..! 2 different programmes & 4 concerts in 3 days. With fabulous work from #OwenGunnell & the @CCC_LoveMusic team for “Ghost Ship” and the music of “Bond” with #NicholasDodd at the helm & dazzling soli from @emmalindars & @lanceellington. Magic🎶

@grantolding She must be nearly up for Parole soon?

Servus, Passau! Und vielen Dank! Lovely few weeks of German sunshine and Puccini (not to mention a Döner or two and maybe the odd beer…)! #wanderingminstrel #passauliebe #passau #schlagzeuger #percussionist #germany instagram.com/p/CU6xHkoApXM/…

Doing a bit of research & I know you wonderful music Twitter folks are bound to be the fountain of all knowledge: What pieces have ten movements??

@rogpineapple Well J Root doesn’t work, because he wants it to say “Root 66”. But I too am perplexed. Overton is a twin, so maybe it’s just a reminder which one he is?

Why always "C Overton" and never "J Root" or indeed "OE Robinson"?

@HelenaCooke8 Franchised, some are better than others. Southbank one has repeatedly been crap!

never enjoyed a Wahaca. Is that unusual? Honestly tastes bang average to me

@sazquinn @TomGreenleaves @dpjackson1 But to be fair he doesn’t just go „bumm“, sometimes it’s „tssch“ or even „ting“… You‘d better work on your repertoire Tom…

Son (7): “Daddy, what’s actually difficult about playing the timpani? You just go bumm. It’s really not art, is it.” Any bright ideas for getting me out of this one veeery welcome.

@chilternrailway sitting on the 7:58 from Bicester Village to Marylebone. Not moved, driver has no information. What are you playing at? On the hottest day of the year some people are trying to get things done before it hits crazy temperatures.

@TomGreenleaves @corn_iusmeister @Gewandhaus Meticulous and extensive in research is an essential quality of the percussion section.

@corn_iusmeister @Gewandhaus Yes, of course. Saxon glass does, however, tend to produce a somewhat darker, earthier tone quality. My colleagues have been experimenting with a quite enormous range of different bottles so really, really know what they’re talking about. If they ever wake up.

Dear @TomGreenleaves, is @Gewandhaus used to play those euphonious instruments, too?

Golden Retrievers….love ‘em.❤️

@grantolding No! Some of the acting is truly truly horrific!

@TomGreenleaves @robknopper1 Herr Greenleaves, I will pay good money to see that! (No cheating with one drum per note...)

@robknopper1 So so.....I have to play that a couple of octaves down, obviously...

testing... testing... how are the pandemic chops doing?
