It was a really sweet show I wish I had discovered the Amazing Drumming Monkeys for my kids years ago! The Fringe Guide suggests the show is aimed at kids aged one to eight, but I think that after about 5 they might find it a bit babyish. I took my six year old and I would say he was a bit too old to really enjoy it. He wasn’t keen to join in, thinking he was a bit past pretending to be a tiger and hop about like a kangaroo. Our fellow Fringe-goers were primarily pre-kindy aged and were having a ball. The kids (and parents) were encouraged to come to the front and sit on the floor right in front of the set (although a few were trying to climb right onto the set too!). The highlight was when all the children had the opportunity to have their own drum and play along with the Monkeys. For a show with relatively little content, the little ones were engaged the whole time. With the assistance of helpful audience members, things soon got back on track!įor 10.30am on a Saturday morning, I was surprised at the size of the crowd – the kids of Adelaide clearly love the Drumming Monkeys. The Monkeys are clearly used to everything not quite running smoothly so it was handled really well. There were a few funny technical issues during the show we saw which really added to the hilarity of the performance. I couldn’t actually work out where the puppeteers were concealed, but they can definitely see the audience and make observations whilst playing the drums and moving the monkey arms around to pick up props. The Monkeys, Congo and Bongo are, of course, puppets. That was pretty exciting it’s not often you go to a fringe show and get a present to take home at the end! The Amazing Drumming Monkeys have teamed up with Trees for Life to get this message across and also give every child at the show a small tree to take home to look after. This years Fringe show is ‘The Tree Show’ and there is a consistent message throughout the 40 minute performance about recycling paper and generally looking after the planet. I might be the only person in Adelaide who has never seen the Amazing Drumming Monkeys before, but I had heard of them by reputation and was looking forward to the show. Thanks.‘This fun and heartwarming show combines puppetry, live music, dancing, comedy and an interactive drumming segment! Also this year – everyone who wants to can leave with a pet tree to plant!’ I do not know what they are called, but I was hoping someone could help me figure it out. They sat on a stand and had a deeper tone than what a set of bongos would have produced. They were similar drums, but they were taller. When I was in Jamaica I saw a reggae show, and one of the percussionist was playing a set of drums that looked like the bongos drums. I hope this is what you were looking for. You should be able to find pictures of these online. Sometimes I will get together with friends and we will play a little reggae. I have a pair of Remo conga and Bongo drums and they are lots of fun. ![]() ![]() However, they are often part of the percussion set in a reggae band. They are not Jamaican drums rather they are Afro-Cuban drums. All they had was traditional drums and a few kids hand drums.ĭecember 12, PelesTears- I think what you are referring to are conga drums. ![]() Does anyone know all the types of music a bongo drum can play? please help me.ĭecember 15, Amphibious54- Where did you buy your bongo and conga drums? I went to my local corporate music emporium and the high school aged kid behind the counter looked at me as if I was crazy when I asked him about the types of drums used to play reggae music. ![]()
