Hey, that's well put! :-)

I'm also someone who learned about West African drumming (a little).
In fact I create loops using talking drum, kalimbas, bells, Tunesian drums,

etc. etc. I usually play drum set live to my percussion loops as well as to

insane analog drum machine (a Jomox - sounds great!) beats from my 
bandmate. It sounds like we have similiar approaches, except I don't
(can't) 
play guitar!

Anyways, glad to be on a thread I can relate to!
