I have been a masters swimmer for 35+ years, but a taiko drummer for only 1 1/2 yrs. I have done the 100 100s before too -- what an exhilarating experience! I've slowed down a bit over the years -- now my intervals are at 1:45. However, I've never thought about swimming from the core and the meditative mindset I get into with swimming as being also available and desireable with drumming. Of course! Thank you for taking the time to write out your experience and observations -- it is helpful to me with drumming. Rebecca Kay Ashland, OR Ashland Taiko Hi Beth,
