Hello my name is Adrian, in Austin,Tx. Iβve been playing percussion for the last 35yrs. I first saw a video of Malte Martin before I was put on the ventilator for 70days back in 2021 with Covid. They had told my family to say their goodbyes, but here I am!!π while in recovery I watched more videos and told myself I had to get one of those crazy spaceship instruments!!β¨πΈβ¨ then I saw how much they were and how long of a wait it was to get one! So my first one was from Amazon which Iβm sure was from China. It didnβt sound terrible! I figured Iβd learn to play before I pay!ππ When I came out of my coma, I had paralysis on my left side. I couldnβt open my left hand. Iβve gone through years of rehab now, still with some neuropathy. I try not to let it define or hinder what I want to do, but still weak on the left side. So I donβt always play left /right hand playing
