Drums 
 

Douglas appears to be a soft-spoken white kid from LA, but he has a profound and very natural understanding of Cuban music, as you can hear from his masterful work with Grupo Olubatá which has produced perhaps the most useful and musical batá study program available. He teaches each year at the world-famous Humboldt Afro-Cuban Dance and Drum course, and has promised next year to include a special class on the various styles of timba trap drum playing.
