La Bomba de Tiempo
Ian and his fellow drum ensemble members made their performance and directorial debut on Monday, opening for the very popular La Bomba de Tiempo drumming concert that happens every Monday.
Ian kissed the Zs before going up to direct, which enamored him to everyone in the crowd. I must admit, I found myself with a tear in my eye as I looked on in admiration — it’s not easy to put yourself out there as a performer, especially when you are a 39-year old just beginning to learn your craft. He was fab, the group was able to follow his direction cleanly and crisply, and his directing was quite creative and engaging!

Wow! Go Ian! I didn’t realize how into this he has gotten, that’s awesome!
Ian is really enjoying studying with the group and is, in fact, at a drumming practice right now!
The professional group he studies under is pretty amazing to watch with the directing and the different rhythms they can produce in perfect coordination on the fly.
Anyway, he’ll have to email you more since you are the UBER drummer in our family!! How’s biz, by the way?
