A wonderful intro to Greek drumming - Nikos was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was a patient teacher, too. I wish it was longer than just one hour! The time went so quickly. It was held at a very small private instrument museum which also is a serves as a studio to teach and spread Greek music. They even invited us to a small concert the following night featuring some of the musicians in their collective!
