The Art of the Drum

The chronicles of a Bristol Fellowship.

Here are two photographs from the Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, which was first built in 798.

Jesse B-H: I graduated from Hamilton College in 2007, with degrees in Religious Studies and Hispanic Studies. I have been awarded the Bristol Fellowship, a year-long grant. As a passionate drummer, I would like to explore the art of the drum, with a global perspective: to establish the spiritual process that a craftsman undergoes while building a drum, and to define the intricate spiritual relationship that the drummer has with his drum. The itinerary includes Fiji, Japan, India, Morocco, and the Caribbean.
