Tosin Aribisala (former drummer to Femi Kuti) drum monologue. The video above was filmed at Bossa in Adams Morgan, produced by and courtesy of Juju Films Productions.

"Nigerian-born drummer and composer, Tosin Aribisala, has been actively involved in professional music for over 14 years. Tosin’s brainchild, the Afrikan Rhapsody band is a vehicle for exhibiting a cross-cultural musical spectrum by merging African musical idioms with jazz, gospel, neo-soul, and other contemporary music genres. Tosin writes in English and his native Nigerian language - Yoruba. Besides leading his band, Tosin also performs drum solos which he dubs Drum Monologue. The Monologue is an expression of polyrhythmic, groovy, and poetic ideas on the drum set. And sometimes, he makes it a Drum Dialogue by featuring other percussion player(s)."

I haven't been to Joe's Record Paradise yet, but apparently they buy, sell and trade "used and new lp's, cd's, cassettes, dvd's, vhs tapes, posters, boxsets, rare collectables and most anything musically related."
