Of all the drums I own, this is my favorite.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110276.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:47:04 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110276Jayson Knight0<p>This is a shot of my drum, and is the main drum I played during the 26 hours of drumSTRONG 2008.

This shot turned out a lot cooler than it looked through the lens due to the blue hues of the hotter temperatures towards the center of his ropes.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110274.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:29:54 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110274Jayson Knight0<p>drumSTRONG 2008 wouldn&#39;t have been complete without some fire dancers. Here&#39;s one practicing his craft, shot at a longer exposure.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110273.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:26:51 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110273Jayson Knight0<p>A local artist and friend of mine made this interesting percussion instrument which I&#39;m attempting to play in this shot. I did manage to find some tonal progressions and hammered on it for a while once my hands started to hurt after about 5 hours of drumming. The artist&#39;s name is Paul Sires for anyone interested in his work (Google him).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110272.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:22:53 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110272Jayson Knight0<p>The bucket fort lasted about 5 minutes before it came tumbling down. Bucket fort v2.0 would be engineered and constructed shortly thereafter.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110271.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:20:28 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110271Jayson Knight0<p>The orange buckets at drumSTRONG 2008 were provided for folks who didn&#39;t bring something of their own to beat on. Of course, the kids had different ideas for the buckets and proceeded to build a fort. Of course, what goes up, must come down...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110270.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:17:24 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110270Jayson Knight0<p>This photo is part of the festival grounds that drumSTRONG 2008 was hosted at. The drum circle itself is front and center, with the soundstage behind it. The circle had about 100 drummers in it at this point.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110269.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:11:15 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110269Jayson Knight0<p>The large drum in the upper left hand corner of this photo was the &#39;heartbeat&#39; drum, and was the one drum that played non-stop throughout the entire 26 hours of drumSTRONG 2008. It was handmade by a Charlotte percussionist and sounded amazing. The circle at this point had about 50 people playing, but at its height would have closer to 250.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110268.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:07:42 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110268Jayson Knight0<p>My brother Christopher finally found a comfortable position and settled in for the long haul at drumSTRONG 2008.<br /></p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110267.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:04:54 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110267Jayson Knight0<p>Another shot of my 5 year old brother showing me how it&#39;s done when it comes to banging out some great beats at drumSTRONG 2008.</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110266.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 22:01:50 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110266Jayson Knight0<p>Christopher, my 5 year old brother, is already showing some aptitude towards percussion and rhythm. He came out to drumSTRONG 2008 to jam for a while.</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/110265.aspxTue, 06 May 2008 21:44:44 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:110265Jayson Knight0<p>We were about 20 minutes away from closing out 26 straight hours of drumming. By this point I had played a total of about 10 hours, as is evident by the amount of tape on my hands compared to earlier photos. At this point the pain meant nothing though...just had to power through it and deal with the pain later.</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/109978.aspxTue, 08 Apr 2008 15:47:00 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:109978Jayson Knight0<p>Image of the Digitally Imported Channel Aggregator application</p>http://jaysonknight.com/media/p/107888.aspxMon, 07 Jan 2008 08:28:00 GMT68946f8a-ff84-48ba-8722-56d2a9e13499:107888Jayson Knight0Bring on the champagne.
